Thermals and precipitation
Are thermals effected when its raining, overcast or in general not sunny out. Worried about trying to setup on a leeward ridge in the morning relying on thermals to push my scent up.

Yes, in cloudy rainy weather u wanna get below them it's not gonna rise. Gonna drop down the slope then follow drainage in valley generally. Partly cloudy is a crap shoot get high and keep your fingers crossed

I agree with Boogieman. If it is warm out you can still have some thermals rise in the rain but it is going to be less so than a clear day. If it is cloudy and cold the rain will drag air down and keep the thermals from rising much at all. You will still get thermals when it is cloudy if it is not raining. They wont be as intense as a clear day but the heat from the sun will still reach the surface and induce thermals.
