During formation, the raindrops formed would be of different sizes and hence the heavier raindrops would start falling as soon as they exceed a certain weight, and hence we should get a very mild drizzle continuosly instead of the bursts of rain. Of course, one would expect more drops when the weather is humid, but there seems no reason for the sudden starts and stops of rain to which we are accustomed.
Re: why do all raindrops fall together during rain?
