What is Rain Day?
Rain Day celebrates the quiet, life-giving importance of rainfall to every living thing on Earth. The tradition began in the late 1800s when pharmacist William Allison noticed it rained on July 29 in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania almost every year, a curious pattern that gained worldwide attention in the 1930s thanks to journalist John O'Hara. Today people mark it by learning about rainfall patterns, dancing in a summer shower, or simply appreciating water's role in sustaining life.
