heavy rain vs a heavy rain
Hi,
I found a sentence below in a book.
"There had been heavy rain here during the storm last night."
Why isn't it a heavy rain? What is the difference?
Thank you,
M

It is used both ways, "a heavy rain" generally means one major downpour - all the rain coming at one time. "heavy rain" generally means periods of intense rain mixed with periods of calm or light rain.
