Correct Answer: An abnormal heavy downpour of rain
"Cloud burst" is an abnormal heavy downpour of rain. Cloudbursts occur because the warm air current from the ground or below the clouds rushes up and carries the falling raindrops up with it. The rain fails to fall down in a steady shower. This results in excessive condensation in the clouds as new drops form and old drops are pushed back into it by the updraft.
