You've heard the expression "It never rains but it pours"? Well, this is the literal application of that. One standard way for showing that things are going From Bad to Worse is rain. When things are looking real bad for a character, the story will add insult to injury with a perfectly-timed downpour. Rock Bottom often precedes this trope. While this trope can easily occur with no spoken dialogue at all, if a character is foolish enough to actually say "At least it can't get any worse," or, even more dangerous, "At least it's not raining"... BOOM! It'll start raining immediately and heavily. This is a type of Empathic Environment—the dark and gloomy rainclouds are great for symbolically mirroring the character's hopelessness and despair; see Gray Rain of Depression, a supertrope. It's almost always Hostile Weather as well. Subtrope of From Bad to Worse, and frequently follows Rock Bottom. The inverse is Cue the Sun, where the dark skies clear up when things start to get better. Compare Cue the Falling Object, which is similar except used more for comedy purposes. Contrast Happy Rain and Redemption in the Rain. Contrast Rain Aura, when a white glow or fog is used to convey rain. Snow, hail, and other forms of precipitation count too, but rain is much more common. |

The Mr. Potato Head Show: After alienating all his friends and turning all the floorspace he'd normally use to film his show into rented space in order to make money, Mr. Potato Head is stuck outdoors, alone. He says it's not so bad "on a day like today", only for a thunderstorm to begin. | |

In one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, when Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian are out for a romantic weekend, Carl rents the house out as the backdrop for a music video, with them moving the living room furniture outside. Unfortunately, Phil and Vivian call to say they're coming home early, and Will tells the production crew they need to leave immediately, to which the producer assures them after one more take, they'll move the furniture back in. Then they hear a rain storm starting and Will starts hyperventilating. | |

Variation in Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas; when Teddy is driving an old Yugo that Daryll sold to her and Amy for $50, things go From Bad to Worse when she has to drive it down a hill. Amy points out that it could be worse, and that it isn't snowing. It starts to snow, and Teddy tells her, "Oh, why'd you have to say that?". As if things weren't already bad enough, when Teddy tries to use the windshield wipers, one of them breaks off. | |

The Simpsons: Subverted in an episode where the Simpsons lose their house. Tossed out unto the street, Homer says, "Well, it could be worse. At least it's not raining." (Beat) "See? Told you it could be worse." In another episode, Mr. Burns is telling the story of how he went to jail. As Smithers leaves, Burns notes that this the point in a story where it would start raining, and decides that, since he's telling the story, it did rain. Then he decides that rain wasn't depressing enough, so he has it snow instead, capping it off with Smithers losing his nose to frostbite. |

In the The Incredible Dennis the Menace episode, "Pains, Trains, and Automobiles", Mr. Wilson is on his way to the dentist, only to find that Dennis has stowed away in his car. When the two get out, Mr. Wilson accidentally leaves his car on "N", causing it to roll into a ditch. Dennis tries to cheer Mr. Wilson up, telling him things could be worse. Mr. Wilson asks how things could possibly be worse, and Dennis tells him, "It could be raining." Just then, it rains, and the rainwater forms a wave in the ditch that washes Mr. Wilson's car away. | |

In The Cameraman, Buster and Sally are trying to make it to dinner when Buster's romantic rival Harold pulls up and offers them a ride. Buster is embarrassed when Harold puts Sally up front with him, while he gets stuck in the rumble seat in the back. That's bad enough-—but the front seats have a convertible top, while the rumble seat in the back doesn't. Naturally, the heavens let loose with rain. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: A camping trip that no one but Calvin's dad is looking forward to and it starts raining upon arrival. Calvin's dad Comically Misses The Point. Naturally, the rain stops the exact moment they decide to leave. Another strip has Calvin, waiting for the school bus, begging for enough snow to close the school. Guess what happens. In another strip, Calvin mocks some flowers with a watering can, claiming that he's basically a god to them because he's the only one who can possibly give them water. As he's bragging, a massive rainstorm begins, soaking him. |

Cue the rain starting immediately. In "Follow That Feather," the Squadron's aircraft is sprayed with a chemical rendering it invisible. Just as they sneak up on the pigeon, it rains and washes off the spray making the plane visible again. |

The Elder Scrolls In the series' mythology, rain is associated with Kynareth, the Aedric Divine Goddess of the Heavens and Air. Rain is a phenomenon that is said not to have occurred before the removal of Lorkhan's divine spark. During the Alessian Revolt, she sent rain to cleanse the blood from Ayleid forts and villages after Pelinal Whitestrake came through, so that they could be used by Alessia's forces. When Tiber Septim, the founder of the Third Tamriellic Empire, died, it rained throughout Tamriel for an entire fortnight "as if the land itself was weeping". (Particularly interesting given his posthumous ascension as Talos, the Ninth Divine, who is in some way connected with Lorkhan.) |

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers plays this trope, when they're about to be besieged by an army of about ten thousand orcs, with an army of about five hundred, many of whom are elderly men or extremely young boys: Though in this case, the rain probably was a *good* thing: it made the ground the orcs were trying to advance over muddy or flooded, buying the good guys time to regroup when the defenses were breached. |

The Human Comedy: It's embarrassing enough when poor Homer has to deliver a singing telegram, singing "Happy Birthday" to Mary at the party he wasn't invited to. It's more embarrassing because Hubert, The Rival for Mary's affections and much richer than Homer, paid for the telegram. And to make it even more of a downer, the skies let loose with rain after Homer leaves the party. | |

In Central Park, Season 1 "Live It Up Tonight", when Cole runs away from Molly because he thinks she's a vampire, it starts raining and Molly responds with a sarcastic "Oh, great". At the same time, when Owen and Paige are trying to hail a cab, the rain causes everyone on the street to hail cab to get out from the rain, forcing Owen and Paige to find another way to get to Brooklyn. | |

In the Family Guy episode "Brian Writes a Bestseller", Stewie is stuck without a ride and without cab fare. He says, "Well, at least it's not raining." Promptly subverted when a man runs up, stabs him, and leaves him for dead.This joke gets a Call-Back in the episode, "Stewie Goes For a Drive", where Stewie says, "At least I'm not getting stabbed by some random guy on the street!", and it starts to rain. He then tells the viewers it's the exact opposite of what they were expecting. And then the random guy shows up and stabs Stewie anyway. | |

Also inverted in How I Met Your Mother, where Ted calls down a deluge in a massive thunderclap by screaming "COME ON!!" at the heavens after doing a desperate Rain Dance all afternoon. However, it played this trope straight for Sandy Rivers, who was going to get laid on a planned camping trip that was canceled by the rain. In fact, Sandy is seen crying while he reports on the downpour on TV. In a case of Mood Whiplash, it is also played straight for Marshall. As Ted arrives at the end of the episode to find him sitting on the steps outside their apartment with Lily having left, leaving her wedding ring behind. |

In Gaz's Horrible Halloween of Doom, this is invoked by Samhain, when he makes it start raining just as a very angry Gaz is asking how the day could possibly get any worse after everything she'd already been through that night. | |

In the climax of Gremlins 2: The New Batch, as the gremlins are held up inside the tower as they await the sun to go down, the heroes come up with an elaborate plan to lure all of them into the tower lobby by thinking it was dusk, then dropping the window facade so they'd all be exposed to the sun in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, it's then that a rainstorm starts up, which not only inconveniently blocks the sun, but if the gremlins were to go out in it, they'd multiply even more to the point that they'd overrun all of New York. | |
