spring showers

Seasonal light rain

Spring showers are the light, intermittent rains typical of springtime.

The phrase evokes brief downpours that come and go quickly, often with sunshine between them.

The saying April showers bring May flowers captures the association between these rains and seasonal renewal.

Spring showers tend to be gentle rather than severe, encouraging growth without causing damage.
