3 Ways to Say IT'S POURING RAIN in Italian☔ 🌧️

Did you know ALL 3? Let me know👇💬

In English, we often say "it’s raining cats and dogs" to describe a heavy downpour. But in Italian, there are a few different ways to express this.

1. Piove a catinelle. This is the most common way to say it rains heavily in Italian. It literally means "it rains like little buckets."

2. Piove a dirotto. This means "it rains in torrents." It is a more informal way of saying it rains heavily.

3. Piove a secchiate. This means "it rains buckets."

Here are some examples of how to use these expressions:

Guarda come piove a catinelle! - Look, it's raining cats and dogs! (Look at how it's raining like little buckets!)

Non posso uscire, piove a dirotto. - I can't go out, it's pouring rain. (I can't go out, it's raining in torrents.)

Abbiamo dovuto annullare la partita di calcio perché pioveva a secchiate. - We had to cancel the soccer game because it was raining buckets.
