Explanation
Sentence-final 了 signals that a NEW situation has come about — the state is now different from before. 下雨了 = 'it (has started to) rain now'; 我懂了 = 'now I get it'. This is different from the 了 placed right after a verb, which marks a completed action (see 动词后「了」). The change-了 sits at the very end of the sentence and can attach to verbs, adjectives or nouns of quantity ('已经三点了' = it's already three o'clock now).

Note
Change-了 = end of sentence; completion-了 = right after the verb. Different jobs.
