Hello.

Is there a difference between a sunny spell and a sunny interval or a sunny period ?

What's the difference between a sunny interval and a bright interval ?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks very much for your answers!

So I understand that patchy rain is a sort of "scattered rain", isn't it ?

I've seen some strange expressions in some weather forecasts of the Met Office, for example: "Outbreaks of showery rain" or "occasional Outbreaks of rain". I think they are pleonasms, aren't they?

Hello. I'm a French weather forecaster and I need write weather reports in English.

Can you explain me the difference between "patchy rain", "occasional rain", "intermittent rain" and "outbreaks of rain"? Thank you very much!
