When it rains in media, it often never seems to restrict itself to a light sprinkling or a drizzle. On the contrary, if it rains at all, it rains in buckets. This trope is when [[A Storm Is Coming]], and when it gets here, it ''immediately'' opens up with a torrential downpour (sometimes prefaced with [[Dramatic Thunder]]). It never starts with a light rainfall that grows into a larger storm. When it rains, it pours.

== Comic Books ==
* In ''[[Sin City]]'', it generally only rains when a major plot point comes to the surface, like Marv realizing some crucial facts about Goldie and her reason for coming to him, or Dwight and the Girls of Old Town finding out that the abusive scumbag they just killed is not only a cop, but is a decorated hero.
* ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]:'' Probably because a light rain just doesn't fit the gritty, depressing feel of the story.
