How long does it take for rain to freeze?
user
It takes approximately one hour for rain to freeze, depending on the temperature. Once the temperature falls below freezing, the moisture in the air begins to condense and form droplets that gather on surfaces. As these droplets of water accumulate and start to freeze, they grow in size until they form visible ice crystals. The amount of time it takes depends upon how quickly temperatures drop and how much snow or sleet is falling. In general, it takes about an hour for raindrops falling at a consistent rate to turn into ice crystals once it reaches freezing temperatures.

It can take from a few hours to a few days depending on the temperature of the rain and the air. Rain that is very warm or that has fallen into very cold air will freeze faster than cooler rain and more ambient temperatures.
