What's strange about this?
2 things can cause this
1. It could be a GEYSER, which it likely is.
2. A burst pipe from a waterline.

People should stop ascribing unusualness to common geographical phenomena

Pipe in the cloud? Abeg is there any waterline in the cloud?

loool That is just a fountain. You can clearly see the upward jet of the water rising up in the middle of the downpour. Theorectically speaking, any rainfall with this level of concentrated rainfall can only happen in a gas planet with extreme high atmospheric pressure to low ground pressure.

Edit: The peak of this geyser can also be glimpsed at several points in the video, and at the 1:17 mark viewers can actually see the brief change in the height of the geyser.

I did and not only o n here, on BBC and the Nation geographical society channel 4 years ago, its a well documented phenomenon, I am quite surprised you lots are seeing this for the very first time, its been around for Hundreds of years, you can see reports and dates o n that link

Ioannes:


I agree with you that it isn't rainfall, But it can't be a geyser either for two reasons.

1. Geyser are hot boiling water. people can't stand around geysers not to talk of touching it like the man in the video did.

2. Geysers commonly occur where there is a water body like a river or so. there's no water body in the location. which leaves one option only, a burst pipe.
Indeed. To be honest, everything is just a guess work at this point. I doubt there is any burst pipe in Togo with enough pressure to push those waters upward like in that video.

a geyser is a hot spring in which water intermittently boils, sending a tall column of water and steam into the air. This is coming from the sky to the ground and not the other way, advice watch video before commenting
Re: Strange Rainfall In Kpalime Togo (Video, Pics) by fcnaxo: 10:26pm On Jun 02, 2016
pls make our findings... b4 we make ridiculous comments.... this s must likely a Geyser. I watched the video and they are jets of hot water from the ground a phenomenon inclined to volcanic plates that have boiled the water to an extent where the pressure can burst open the ground like FOUNTAINS*

Gas planet was referred to because of their size and extreme pressure differences that exist within them.

Title is very misleading. Rain don't fall from the ground.

No Togo
A video purportedly showing "mysterious rain" in Togo doesn't show rain at all.

CLAIM: A video shows a "mysterious rain" falling in Togo.

FALSE
EXAMPLE: [Collected via Email, May 2016]

This happened in Kpalime, Togo this week. Heavens opened and rain pouring in one place like a waterfall. God's miracles. Heaven is real!


ORIGIN:On 20 May 2016, the video shown above, purportedly capturing "rain falling in one place" in Togo was posted to YouTube. However, what was depicted in the video did not occur "this morning" (i.e., 20 May 2016), nor did it take place in Togo. The video has been circulating online since at least June 2015, when it was shared under the title "Sources of water, water sources of well digging." While that version of the video did not include mention of a location, other postings of it have placed the incident in Indonesia, China, and Vietnam.

This video also doesn't show "rain falling in one place." In fact, it doesn't show rain at all. The water in the video is coming up from the ground (not down from the sky), either from a natural geyser or a burst pipe.

The water spurt displayed in this video appears as if it were coming from the sky largely because its peak is hidden by tree branches or is simply out of frame. When the peak is in view, the color of the water and the sky are too similar to easily distinguish one from the other. However, a careful examination of this footage shows that the water clearly originates from the ground and not the sky.

The first clue is that a central water column can be periodically glimpsed throughout the video. The water is erupting from a hole in the ground and then falling back to the ground:
