Describing current precipitation.
Contexte culturel
Rain is called 'Baraka' (blessing). When it rains, farmers celebrate because it means a good harvest for melons and cotton. There is a belief that if it rains while the sun is shining, a 'wolf is giving birth' or a 'hero is being born'. Rainy days are often associated with eating 'Manti' or 'Chuchvara' (dumplings) at home with family. Rain is a frequent metaphor for sadness or cleansing in the works of poets like Erkin Vohidov.
