Over the weekend it rained for the first time in a long, long time. How do authors use rain to establish setting and tone? Consider this example from Ray Bradbury:
“I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard
someone cry, thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it
was dry.
Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain, the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.”
― Ray Bradbury, Green Shadows, White Whale: A Novel of Ray Bradbury's Adventures Making Moby Dick with John Huston in Ireland
