rain shelter
Cover from downpours
A rain shelter is any structure that provides protection from precipitation—a bus stop overhang, a park pavilion, or an improvised covering.
The term emphasizes function over form: We found a rain shelter and waited for the storm to pass.
Unlike more permanent structures, rain shelters are typically minimal, offering cover but little else.
