Certain emotions just take you to the notes – being furious, heroic, sad, erotic, when rain comes.
When I took over the ministry for science and technology, our weather systems were in shambles. Nobody believed in the IMD. Nothing was in digital mode. I changed all that. We got automatic rain gauges, automatic weather stations, Doppler radars.
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.
The Awa are a distinctive-looking, diminutive forest people, smaller than any of the dozen other Amazon tribespeople I have met. Reduced size is adaptive in a rain forest. You can move around more easily and unobtrusively. Not only humans but other species are smaller in rain forests.
No person has the right to rain on your dreams.
I’m continually inspired by nature, and the rainbow is one of nature’s greatest optical phenomenons. The sighting of a rainbow never fails to bring a smile to people’s faces. They signify optimism and positivity: with them comes the sunshine after the rain.
Charleston has something for everyone, rain or shine. Its architecture is unparalleled. Carriage rides are great for seeing the city and hearing the history behind certain houses and the area.
MPs are only elected thanks to the help of ordinary members – activists on the ground who traipse the streets, post leaflets and engage in millions of doorstep conversations, come rain or shine and without pay.
The rain begins with a single drop.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.
A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.
Tori Amos had a major influence on how I craft words in a song. Until I heard ‘Little Earthquakes’ all my lyrics used really obvious analogies like rain for tears.
My face looks like a wedding-cake left out in the rain.
‘Heavy Rain’ was really close to a dark thriller, like ‘Se7en.’ ‘Beyond’ is different in terms of tone.
The fact is that Common Core is no more responsible for a bizarre homework question than global warming is for a rain shower.
When you’re from Cali and it’s always sunny, you kind of want some rain.
The newspaper headlines may shout about global warming, extinctions of living species, the devastation of rain forests, and other worldwide catastrophes, but Americans evince a striking complacency when it comes to their everyday environment and the growing calamity that it represents.
The ‘Wall Street Journal’ is quite irate that I rank them with industry front groups and cranks denying climate change. But they have a record whenever industrial pollutants are involved. Look at the ‘Journal”s commentary on acid rain, on the ozone layer, and on climate change.
To me I grew up watching ‘All That Jazz’ and ‘Cabaret,’ and when I was younger ‘Mary Poppins’,’ The Sound Of Music,’ and ‘Singin’ In The Rain.’

There’s a scene in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ where this guy dances with a giant doll while singing ‘Make ‘Em Laugh.’ I remember loving the pure physicality of it.
In England, rain was thin and cold, and made you hunch up inside your coat, walking home from the bus stop. In Jamaica, it was wide and thick and invited you to step into it, and see how wet you could get, and be thrilled that it was warmer than the sea and warmer than your skin; it was abandon.
I love the rain. I want the feeling of it on my face.
I often liken my love life to the pathetic fallacy found in a Bronte novel: a long and winding road tented by storm clouds and rain. Kidding.
Captain Fisher, the commander, with a party of young ladies from the city and gentlemen belonging to his ship, came one day to pay me a visit in the midst of a deluge of rain.
I was born and raised on ‘Singin’ in the Rain.’ It’s in my work. It’s in me.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.
I moved to New Zealand from Winnipeg when I was almost five. I hated it. It was to a city in the south of New Zealand called Invercargill and there was constant rain. There was a depressing sensation in the air.
We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.
I keep trying to explain to people that the archetype of intelligence is not Dustin Hoffman in ‘The Rain Man;’ it is a human being, period. It is squishy things that explode in a vacuum, leaving footprints on their moon.
I love the rain and everything about the monsoons!
I live in the country, so I get a fair amount of exercise. We heat our house with wood, so I split wood. We also live on a steep hill, and I have to rake and put in cross-stitches to keep the road from washing out when there’s a big rain.
I spend a fair chunk of time in Los Angeles, and after about ten days of warmth and unbroken clear skies, you start to yearn for a bit of good old British gloom and rain!
In Scotland, beautiful as it is, it was always raining. Even when it wasn’t raining, it was about to rain, or had just rained. It’s a very angry sky.
A Birkin bag is a very good rain hat; just put everything else in a plastic bag.
There was a week where I was depressed with the rain, and people were telling me to get a light box. But I live on the 14th floor of an apartment complex, and I see the Broadway Bridge and Mount Hood, and it keeps me such company. And like true Oregonians, I don’t carry an umbrella anymore.
I did a tour down South someplace, and it was an all-day festival, and there were about 2,000 people. It was pouring down rain, and I went to grab the mic, and I got electrocuted. I felt the electricity flow through my body.
I have ‘Purple Rain’ on purple vinyl.
Some of my favorite songs are slow songs, like Guns N’ Roses’ ‘November Rain.’
My name is Rain Dove, and my pronouns are just a sound. You can use whatever you want.
This morning’s scene is good and fine, Long rain has not harmed the land.
The whole background of ‘Avian’ is rain. I was just playing with textures and realizing you can touch music.
I like the ‘Blackwell’ adventure games, and I’m fond of some of Telltale’s games, like ‘Hector’ and ‘Puzzle Agent’ – simple stories, but fun. I thought ‘Heavy Rain’ was amazing.
My mental analogy for TalkTalk is an ageing Ford Cortina going flat out in the fast lane of the M4 in the pouring rain. We are always hammering along faster than anybody thinks is sensible, with things not quite working, but huge enthusiasm.
Look, some days, you have to film a sequence in which the rain is pounding down on someone and you’re just turning the camera on what’s happening. And other days, you occasionally have to spray Robert Pattinson in the face with a firehose.
I’ve spent 35 years sitting on a motorbike in the rain. It’s not had too good an effect on my bones.
Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.
If ‘Heavy Rain’ is a huge commercial success, it will show everybody in the industry that the world is sick of first-person shooters, that people are ready for an adult gaming experience. If we fail, it will say, ‘Please keep making the same old stuff.’
Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one’s voice.
No weather forecaster can tell you for sure when to wear a rain slicker, stock up on canned goods, or evacuate a city that’s in a cyclone’s path. All forecasters can offer is their best guess at the atmosphere of the future, whispered by the simulated blue marble and wrapped up in uncertainty.
I am a small business owner; I’m in the agri-business. That’s about as blind a trust as you can get. We trust in the Lord for rain and many other things.
If you’re going to reach for it, reach all the way for it. Albums like ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘Thriller’ and those kind of records, you had to reach far above the din of cynicism and modern living to get to that place, against all the odds.
