liquid sunshine
Rain, said cheerfully
Liquid sunshine is a cheerful euphemism for rain, reframing dreariness as something positive: We're expecting some liquid sunshine this afternoon.
The phrase is especially common in rainy regions like the Pacific Northwest or Ireland, where locals use it with wry affection.
Separately, liquid sunshine can refer to LSD, from the drug's association with brightness and altered perception.
