I am overseeing your answer which will be "not my specialty, thanks for sharing" but "evaporation-condensation-rain" is not also your specialty yet you have digested it well, I come to take away a stupidity of your head.
New discovery incredible to realize that we passed next for centuries, never heard
THE RAIN IS FORMED IN 7 PHASES, NOT 3. -https://pdf.lu/lsu5/ details in one page (EN.FR). "Lightning + thunder + rain = one operation" You will find the essence of what I advance as hypothesis in this message.
hv + H2O → ↖H2 + O↗ ↖H2 (2/29 = 0.068) and O↗ (16/29 = 0.551), All 2 lighter than the air, they escape in altitude, the lightest one will place the highest one.
3- COMPRESSION (ascending and descending air currents - Opposition of 2 mechanical forces). 4- IONIZATION under the effect of solar radiation, stirring and friction due to compression (all ionizing agents). H2 → (2H+) +2é- (called positive cloud) and
O + 2é-(called negative cloud).
5- EXPLOSIVE SYNTHESIS (O + 2é-) + 2H+ → H2O + lightning + thunder (the cloud is born, it is only there that one can speak of condensation).
6- CONDENSATION 7- RAIN.

If rain water were formed as we all learned,
1- it would have rained much more during the warm seasons because the evaporation is more important than during the cold seasons.
2- A dense, permanent fog from the ground up to the height of the current clouds would have formed. If you say that water in the gaseous state is invisible, I would say that its decomposition is even more (final stage).
3- why do we expect rain when a storm is coming (lightning + thunder) if there is not an intimate relationship between lightning, thunder and rain?
The theory "evaporation-condensation-rain", has no author, do you realize? !
