The "rainy" season on Titan could resemble monsoons on Earth.

Thanks for the great article!

--- The team observed "vigorous centres" in the clouds as they rose from a height of 23 kilometres to 44 km at speeds of several tens of metres per second. Then, the cloud tops dissipated or fell 10 kilometres over the next 30 minutes. This suggests the clouds "evolve convectively and dissipate through rain" ... ---

Turbulent weather.
