What are creative ways to describe the rain?

There was no light but it was no night but there was a threatning sound of nature s revenge which we know as thunder.A slight calmess for few seconds then ground was getting wet from water droplets .The ground smelled prettier than never.The next thing to happen was i could hear water spalishing down the roof, on the ground .Everthing around was pleasant.Children laughed, splashed water, frogs , flowers ,smell of warm food,everyone rejoiced as nature took its shower
