rain delays
Storm-caused game pauses
Rain delays are interruptions to outdoor events—especially baseball games—caused by rainfall.
The plural form appears frequently because multiple delays can occur during a single game or across a season: We sat through three rain delays before they finally called the game.
Rain delays test fans' patience and complicate broadcast schedules.
