	Rain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rain plays a major role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into clouds, precipitates back to earth, and eventually returns to the ocean via streams and rivers to repeat the cycle again.
		Several cultures have developed means of dealing with rain and have developed numerous protection devices such as umbrellas and raincoats, and diversion devices such as gutters and storm drains that lead rains to sewers.
		Rain may be harvested, though rainwater is rarely pure (as acid rain occurs naturally), or used as greywater.

	Rain gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rain gauge is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid or solid (snow, sleet, hail) precipitation over a set period of time.
		Rain may fall on the funnel and freeze or snow may collect in the gauge and not permit any subsequent rain to pass through.
		Rainfall character is decided by the total amount of rain that has fallen in a set period (usually 1 hour) and by counting the number of 'clicks' in a 10 minute period the observer can decide the character of the rain.

		Rain was the third of the CPU cooler programs to be introduced.

		While this is a good thing as Rain does not consume any of the CPUs cycles when it is active, it also means that Rain offers no benefits when the CPU is active.

	Drinking Rain Water (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rain water might be a little bit acid compared to water out of the ground or from rivers, which are somewhat neutralized from contact with minerals, so you'd be missing some of those minerals.
		If you live in a really polluted city, it might be a good idea not to drink rain when it just starts, as it's washing out all the particulate material in the air (car exhaust, diesel fumes, dust, etc).
		I think the concern about drinking rain water has to do with the fact that in our non-pristine environment the raindrops may have picked up some contaminant on the way down from the clouds.
