What are "Revivim"?

1.

Radak: It is the rain that falls in Cheshvan. It is called Yoreh and Moreh. Yoreh is in Cheshvan and Malkosh is in Nisan (Ta'anis 5a). These are the two times that grain needs the rain. Usually, most of the rain falls in Cheshvan. Therefore it is called Yerach Bul; this is like Mabul. That rain is called Revivim; elsewhere it is called Yoreh.
