rainshade
Portable shade device
A rainshade is a covering or canopy designed to protect against rain, analogous to how a sunshade protects against sun.
The term appears in descriptions of outdoor furniture, stroller accessories, and architectural features: The café's rainshades kept diners dry during the downpour.
Less common than umbrella or awning, rainshade emphasizes the sheltering function over the object's form.
