Temperature of surrounding falls during or after the heavy shower. Why?

Temperature of any medium or object falls when it loses the heat. After the heavy shower, water absorbs heat from the surrounding air. Water has high specific heat capacity (i.e. the quantity of heat required by unit mass for the unit rise of temperature)  so water absorbs large amount heat from the surrounding without much rise in it's own temperature. Hence, temperature falls.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

In uniform circular motion,  1. Speed is constant. 2. Velocity is variable and acts along tangential direction  at a point. 3. Centripetal Force and acceleration act along the radius towards the centre if the circular path.  4. Centrifugal force appears to  act radially outwards. It is a virtual  ,fictitious force, not a real force.

ECHO IN LIVING ROOM

Why is echo not heard in our living rooms? To hear echo, the minimum distance between the source and the reflector must be 17m. When this distance is more than 17m, the reflected sound can be distinguished from the original. As the length of our rooms is less than 17m, we don't hear echo.
