Answer: The phenomenon of “fish rain” occurs when fish move from their aquatic environment in the sea to land, and this is often the result of the formation of hurricanes or storms , especially in areas that experience great variation in temperature and humidity.
Scientists attribute this phenomenon either to the effect of storms and strong weather conditions that may carry water and fish from the oceans and seas to land via strong air currents, which leads to the fish falling to the ground in areas far from the large bodies of water in which they live, and although there is no confirmation There is no certainty about the cause of this phenomenon, but it may be the result of certain weather factors such as thunderstorms or strong air currents.
