Rain rain go away, come again another day
Look at the forecast for the next few days for my two homes of Inverness and Madrid; and Rome, my home for many years.
What is the weather like for the next three days?
Compare the weather in the three cities.

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

Whispers of the Rain
A gentle drizzle greets the dawn,
Soft raindrops kiss the quiet lawn.
The sky is grey, overcast,
Each cloud a storm that cannot last.
The puddles glisten, mirrors bright,
Reflecting winds of gales in flight.
A distant thunder rumbles low,
And lightning cracks a silver glow.
The rainfall sings its ancient song,
A torrential beat that hums along.
Through damp and mud, the world transformed,
As nature's heart in rain is warmed.
Beneath my umbrella, safe I stand,
While showers drench the thirsty land.
And when the storm begins to wane,
A rainbow stretches through the rain.

I love the detail that you go into when giving the forecast for Madrid :-)
Did you have a look at the expressions? There are plenty of ways to describe the weather - the ones here are just for the rain!
I LOVE TALKING about the weather.
Friday will be CLOUDIER than Thursday.
You must love the weather forecast that follows the news on the first channel - it GOES ON FOR AGES.
As I can see today in Madrid there's a dull day, probably we'll have some drops as well.
The forecast shows that in Rome the weather is sunny today and not so cold, but it might get cloudy and with some scattered showers the next days.
As for Inverness, generally speaking it seems/looks like a damp place. The forecast predicts that today is sunny but not for so long. It expects to peak frozen temperatures with a little snow during the next days.
Did you get drenched today? It wouldn't have been very wise to go out without a brolly.
