The author used verbal irony. What he said was different from what he meant, as it obviously was far from the downpour he described.

Explanation:

Although the prediction was one of heavy rain, there was no heavy rain and no flooding. Even so, the commentator talked as if there was one knowing that there wasn't.

By definition, irony is <em>"the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."</em>

Answer:

Peer pressure feeds on the things that frighten us. ... Students often give in to peer pressure because they don't want to be rejected by friends. Youth are also much less likely to be sure of themselves or what they want, making them more susceptible to peer pressure that pushes them to test boundariesPeer Pressure. Peers play a large role in the social and emotional development of children and adolescents. Their influence begins at an early age and increases through the teenage years. It is natural, healthy and important for children to have and rely on friends as they grow and mature. but you should listen to what you think is right and you should be able to tell what's right from wrong and not have to be told by kids who are younger or few years older than you and are very careless to tell you how to do things. I do not you can get yourself into so much harm and you're easy to get manipulated by if you consistently listen to people that tell you those things and especially if they're not your parents or an adult that you know either. because people can tell you so many things just because they want to see you fail. peer pressure is not a good thing to live the rest of your life with or to just have a simple moment to and you should honestly not do the same thing to other people don't pressure them into doing something that you know for a fact that you couldn't do yourself.
