steady rain
Persistent falling water
Steady rain is precipitation that continues at a consistent intensity without significant breaks or fluctuation.
Unlike scattered showers or intermittent drizzle, steady rain maintains its pace: The forecast calls for steady rain through the afternoon.
The phrase often signals conditions that will persist rather than pass quickly.
