When it rains in media, it 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. The reason for this, of course, is that heavy rain is easier to pick up on camera than the usual light sprinkling seen in nature, thus directors and producers will choose to intentionally drench their performers for dramatic effect. Most such scenes are created using a sprinkler frame suspended over the scene, operated by a worker with a hose. In such cases the wide shots tend to have weather that looks very clement; in close-up, cue the downpour, with lots of shots of the performer's soaking wet hair and clothing. If a light rain has to be used, it's usually represented as slow-moving sparse white lines. Truth in Television for some regions; the western U.S. is especially known for violent cloudbursts. In deserts, if it rains at all, you had best run for high ground, because the soils tend to have a hydrophobic crust (thanks to the Sun baking the soil into what is essentially one giant brick) which promotes flash flooding. This style of rain is also fairly common in the United Kingdom and is one of the reasons why scenes set in the country often show it raining heavily. In real life, this sort of rain in the UK is most common during spring and at the height of summer, usually following a period of sustained humid and hot weather. It can also happen quite frequently during late autumn and through the winter. See also Cyber Punk With A Chance Of Rain, Cue the Rain and Thunder Equals Downpour. |

Looney Tunes: "Water Water Every Hare" starts with a rainstorm that floods Bugs Bunny out of his hole while he's sleeping. Daffy Duck finds a gold rock in the desert in "Aqua Duck," but he's also dying of thirst. A desert rat offers to sell Daffy a glass of water for the gold, and towards the end, he gives in. Just as Daffy is about to take a drink, it rains hard enough to flood right up to his neck. |

In Harry Potter, Hogwarts has a pretty solid weather pattern. The narrative will show the transition from the last days of summer to autumn with rain lashing at the high windows, flooding the greenhouses, dark purple clouds, rain so thick you can't tell red from yellow, and one person complaining that he "hasn't been properly dry since August" due to rigorous Quidditch training in the aforementioned rain. Very rarely is a light drizzle ever noted. | |

In The Pacific, the rain goes on and on as a continuous downpour, giving one main character a severe illness and prompting the Staff Sgt. to take off his clothes and shower in it while loudly reciting the Marine rules of cleanliness. It abruptly stops. This is Truth in Television, as many of the Pacific Islands have climates that have massive downpours. (Some islands, like Hilo of Hawaii, get as much as 126 Inches/3200 Millimeters of rain a year.) | |

Total Drama: It rarely rains in the series and when it does, it comes down heavily at the worst possible time. The Screaming Gophers are chased into a tree and the Killer Bass lose their tent while out camping in the woods in "The Sucky Outdoors". Inevitably, the night goes from bad to worse when it starts raining with a vengeance. In "Hurl and Go Seek", the contestants are tasked with playing hide and seek in the woods at night after drinking a questionable drink far past its expiration date. Nearly all of them grow weak and delirious from food poisoning and then a storm rolls in. |

The Eder Kemo age found in Uru: Ages Beyond Myst has frequent, intense rainstorms. In fact, the sky is covered in a perpetual, windy overcast. Subverted mostly because luring clouds of fireflies out of the garden without them getting wet is part of the challenge. Hence, rain showers are brief and fairly light. | |

The Day After Tomorrow: Although avoiding some of these tropes as the storm builds up gradually, as the superstorm intensifies it plays this trope straight as it unleashes an endless torrential downpour flooding portions of New York City, and according to one of the characters the downpour lasts about 3 days. The rain eventually turns into snow and buries much of the northern continents. | |

Justified in Jungle as it established that the characters have three weeks to complete their trek before the rainy season starts. When Marcus complains about a heavy rainstorm, their guide Kurt tells them that compared to the rainy season, this is a light shower. Yossi is separated from the group and lost in the jungle for several weeks, meaning that his in the jungle during rainy season and every rainstorm is a torrential downpour. | |

Patapon series: when it rains against your will, it's always a thunderstorm. When you use a rain miracle, the heavy rain is still there, but without lightning. It isn't until Patapon 3 when the light rain is present and even then the light rain is more like a few big drops falling slowly. | |

Pokémon: There are certain areas in the game where it always rains, and it rains like this. Aside from these areas, there is no rain in the game. There is even a legendary Pokemon, Kyogre, with the special ability Drizzle. That ability name is a misnomer: it makes freaking floods happen. This gets kicked up another notch with Primal Kyogre's Primordial Sea ability, which causes it to rain so fiercely that Fire attacks fizzle out altogether. | |

Final Fantasy has a few locales where the rain is never gentle. The town of Zozo in Final Fantasy VI may as well have been built under a waterfall. In Final Fantasy IX it's always raining heavily in and around Burmecia. Initially this seems to be for dramatic effect, but you'll find it's still raining like crazy there long after the plot has forgotten it. In Final Fantasy XII, if it's the rainy season in the Giza Plains, the place will always be stormy, gloomy, and flooded. |

Sudden rainstorms randomly occur in Robot City due to the titular city's haphazard state of construction. The storms even escalate to flash floods depending on how many screens you've moved, and you'll get washed back to the start if you don't find cover quick. | |

Downplayed in Left 4 Dead 2 in the aptly titled "Hard Rain" level, where the weather devolves from a light sprinkle in the first map, to normal rain causing small floods in the second, to torrential downpours with particularly violent bursts in the third an on. Justified in that it's a hurricane hitting the town they're in. | |

Basil defends the weather, saying he likes it, as it is very mild all year round. At the end, he has a furious rant at the guests, and ends up storming out of the hotel, straight into the pouring rain which he was so keen to defend. | |

Chrono Trigger the Hunting Range in 65 Million BC has a periodic heavy rain that comes every so often. When it happens, a Nu will come out of hiding and can be battled if the player can catch it in time. Defeating Nu's will net a great amount of experience points and tech points, making this an ideal place for early game grinding. | |

Mostly played straight in Frasier, which is set in infamously rainy Seattle. The thing is, while Seattle experiences more days with some kind of precipitation than most American cities east of the Rocky Mountains, it averages less total precipitation than most of those same cities — as said precipitation mostly occurs as light drizzle. Downpours and thunderstorms in particular are quite rare. Nevertheless, when the series depicts rain for plot or ambiance purposes, it's shown to rain heavily, with thunder and lightning for good measure. | |
