spring rain

Vernal precipitation event

Spring rain is rainfall that occurs during the spring season, often characterized by its role in reviving vegetation after winter dormancy.

The phrase carries positive associations with renewal, growth, and freshness: The spring rain brought the garden back to life.

It may also suggest gentleness compared to summer storms, though spring weather is notoriously changeable.
