Rain has always been a sign of the earth and body being cleansed.
Rain symbolizes birth, fertility, and hope. Most cultures denote the onset of rain as a good omen of rejuvenation and new life.
Rain has been the subject of sorrow and delight for ages. It is said to be liberating, though usually in writing, it is related to sadness and a mood of gloom.
Rain can signify the cancellation of work plans, and staying at home on a rainy day. Therefore, 'when it rains it pours' means that usually when something bad happens then all bad things follow up in quick succession.
The term was first used relating to dry days followed by overpowering rain that ruined crops or caused floods. The opposite of 'when it rains it also pours' is 'waiting for a raindrop in a drought'.
That can be negative too as it means you are waiting too long in a bad time for something good to happen.
So do not let the rains bring you down and mess with your life. If you are feeling a bit down or not so great in life then check these uplifting quotes that will turn your day around.
