Asshole Rain\u00a0<\/strong>is not rain at all, but a weather condition in which you need to do something that requires dryness (mowing the lawn, repairing a road, watching beach volleyball), but the weather gods make it cloud over and look like it’s going to rain every time you start moving forward.<\/p>\n

Mist<\/strong> is also not technically rain. It’s fog. Sticky fog that makes you look like you fell in a lake if you have to spend more than a few seconds in it.<\/p>\n

Swamp Rain<\/strong> is a warm light rain only distinguishable from mist in that the water has a definite downward direction (most of the time).<\/p>\n

East Coast Rain\u00a0<\/strong>is like swamp rain, but it’s colder and might randomly turn to ice.<\/p>\n

Sad Girl Rain<\/strong> is rain that falls softly and warmly, making the whole world depressing.<\/p>\n

Funeral Rain\u00a0<\/strong>is a patchy, light rain. To be funeral rain, it must be cold enough to wear a fashionable raincoat and patchy enough that you only need your umbrella for long shots.<\/p>\n

Mountain Rain<\/strong> is steady like sad girl rain but cold like funeral rain. Mountain Rain goes on for days, sometimes weeks.<\/p>\n

Pissin’\u00a0<\/strong>is a cold steady rain like mountain rain, but it has randomly distributed heavy drops that make you check around to see if there are any birds overhead.<\/p>\n

Autumn Rain<\/strong> is all the bad parts of pissin’ and funeral rain, only now you’ve got dead leaves glued to your car windows.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Seabreeze Squall\u00a0<\/strong>is a small, intense storm that wanders inland from the coast.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Sunshower\u00a0<\/strong>is a seabreeze squall that’s too lazy to form a cloud.<\/p>\n

Rain<\/strong> longterm rain dropping about an inch per hour. This can lead to “flooding” in places where they think that standing water puddles are evidence of deluge.<\/p>\n

Houston Rain<\/strong> like regular rain, except the rate is closer to three inches per hour. Houston rain usually happens in clusters when you don’t actually need the moisture or cooling.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Tropical Storm\u00a0<\/strong>is a Houston rain that starts over open water.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Hurricane<\/strong> is a tropical storm that’s got its shit together. Wind-based categories really only apply when the hurricane is on its way up. A Cat 3 hurricane on its way up is no big deal; a Cat 3 on its way down from Cat 5 is a giant storm that has reduced winds but more of them, and will ruin you life like that one ex-lover who keeps finding out your phone number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
