Extra:

We tend to forget that rain can also be fun! A nice children’s poem describes that well:

Dežek pada cele dni,
še ponoči nam rosi,
in namaka luže tri.
V prvi luži žabica,
v drugi luži račkica,
v tretji luži sem pa jaz-
vsi kričimo na ves glas!

(Disclaimer: a horrible literal translation, but fortunately you are here to learn Slovenian, not to study poetry!

It is raining for many (lit. whole) days,
even in the night it drizzles,
filling up three puddles.
A (little) frog in the first puddle,
A duckie in the second,
and me in the third-
we all scream our heads off!
