English Synonyms and Antonyms
precipitation
Rashness applies to the actual rushing into danger without counting the cost; temerity denotes the needless exposure of oneself to peril which is or might be clearly seen to be such. Rashness is used chiefly of bodily acts, temerity often of mental or social matters; there may be a noble rashness, but temerity is always used in a bad sense. We say it is amazing that one should have had the temerity to make a statement which could be readily proved a falsehood, or to make an unworthy proposal to one sure to resent it; in such use temerity is often closely allied to hardihood, audacity, or presumption. Venturesomeness dallies on the edge of danger and experiments with it; foolhardiness rushes in for want of sense, heedlessness for want of attention, rashness for want of reflection, recklessness from disregard of consequences. Audacity, in the sense here considered, denotes a dashing and somewhat reckless courage, in defiance of conventionalities, or of other men's opinions, or of what would be deemed probable consequences; as, the audacity of a successful financier. Compare EFFRONTERY.

audacity, foolhardiness, hardihood, hastiness, heedlessness, over-confidence, precipitancy, presumption, rashness, recklessness, temerity, venturesomenessAntonyms:

How to use Precipitation in a sentence?
When the climate got wetter and the ice began to melt, it led to the formation of lakes, rivers, and marshes. The ecosystem changed and the biomass of the vegetation reduced and would not have been able to sustain the herds of mammoths, we have shown that climate change, specifically precipitation, directly drives the change in the vegetation -- humans had no impact on them at all based on our models.
The forecast currently shows (Lorena) passing slightly west of Los Cabos, but this may be adjusted, even if it passes to the west, the impact zone of wind, precipitation and waves would affect Los Cabos. If the (storm's) trajectory changes slightly to the east, the impact will be even greater.
Our wettest year on record in California was in 1983, when we saw nearly twice the normal amount of precipitation. Even if this year has more rain than that, we wouldn't get rid of the drought entirely.
The research has shown that atmospheric rivers are projected to become more extreme in the future, for California, they're projected to contribute more to the overall annual precipitation. Our climate models are suggesting that atmospheric rivers will become increasingly important as the climate changes.
The drought is pretty baked in, my expectation is fully that the American West is going to be in a drought through the rest of this year, at the very least. To recover from Lake Powell, we're talking about multiple seasons of above-average precipitation.
