Korocha

Korocha is a term primarily used in the South Asian region, specifically Bangladesh and West Bengal (India), to describe a specific type of heavy downpour or torrential rain, often characterized by its sudden onset and short duration. It is often associated with localized flooding and disruptive impacts on daily life due to the intensity of the rainfall. While not a formally defined meteorological term, "Korocha" is recognized and used colloquially to describe particularly severe and impactful rain events. The term often implies the rain is concentrated in a small geographical area.
