“I woke up early this morning trying to get some work done before heading out to see my friend. Today is our first day back to running. When I looked out of the window, I realized that it was raining cats and dogs. What perfect weather for staying inside, sitting in your comfy corner with your book, drinking some hot coffee from your favorite cup. I instantly thought that I would call my friend to take a rain check, but after my coffee, I felt much more energetic. Come rain or shine, we decided that we would stick to our plan as we had delayed it so many times. And now, just before we meet, the sun shines again.”

- Welcome to Weather on the Go. Today we’re talking about rain idioms. In Australia, we love talking about the weather. But sometimes, what people mean is very different from the words they’re saying.
- These little phrases are called idioms. Let’s take a look at some idioms about rain.
- You might have heard people say 'it's raining cats and dogs'.
- They don’t actually mean that animals are falling from the sky!
- All it means is that it’s raining really heavily.
- And when you say 'it’s pelting down' or 'it’s bucketing down', they all mean that it’s raining very, very heavily.
- When you hear people say they’re 'saving up for a rainy day', it doesn’t mean they're saving up for the day it starts to rain.
- This idiom is used when people are saving money for something in the future like an emergency.
- Then there’s 'come rain or shine'.
- This expression means something is going to happen no matter what.
- For example: I’m going to win the race, come rain or shine.
- So whether there’s rain or sunshine, the person has decided to win the race.
- You can use this idiom to talk about the weather but you don't always have to.
- If someone tells you they want 'to take a rain check', they’re not going outside to see if it’s actually raining.
- They just want to defer the plans they’ve made with you.
