🔬 For rain to form, each drop needs a particle to condense around, and it seems that in this case, much of it came from pollen. Because of this, rain is also great at cleaning the atmosphere.⁠
⁠
There may be some cross contamination, but it’s also important to realize that anything that can blow around in the air can also be part of a raindrop.⁠
