Downpour and Shower: what's the difference? [on hold]

not sure what's the difference (if any) between downpour and shower, when talking about rain and weather.
Don't they both mean: "a lot of rain falling in a short time"?

A shower is just a short spell of rain; it could be light or heavy.

@KateBunting Ah but now we're getting into the Tomasz Shafanacker question of the difference between a 'shower' and a 'longer period of rain' :-)

I'm flagging this as off-topic ("no research / ELL"). Hi Pehnt, it's important to look up a dictionary before you ask this kind of question here, as it will often provide the solution. Our Help Centre says "Be sure to mention the research you've done and what you're still hoping to learn!" For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the EL&U Tour :-)
