{{Term
|Display title=airmass shower
|Definitions={{Definition
|Num=1
|Meaning=A [[shower]] that is produced by local [[convection]] within an [[unstable air mass]]; the  most common type of [[airmass precipitation]].
|Explanation=Such showers are not associated with a [[front]] or [[instability line]]. They are most frequent within  a [[moist air]] mass that is sufficiently unstable so that daytime heating at the surface can produce  well-developed [[cumulus]] clouds. The extreme form of airmass shower is the [[airmass thunderstorm]].
