That's not a good comment. What it is should be clear from the naming and context. A good comment explains the why when that is not obvious:
// This glass is at 50% capacity because we don't want it to overflow if it rains
And in 5 years you will wonder why the glass is under the rain because someone didn't put that in the specifications.
Inevitably whatever is under the glass gets wet anyway... because it's raining.
