.because it is raining indicates that water is physically falling from the sky right now, while because it is rainy indicates that it is the sort of day where rain is extremely likely to happen, but doesn't necessarily mean that rain is. The reason is that in the first sentence, today is rainy, today is the object being described directly, so you don't need the pronoun 'it' In the second however, there is a comma so after the comma, the 'it' pronoun is needed to make the sentence correct (hence the 'it's'). It is perfectly idiomatic to say “it is rainy” to mean “it is raining” and vice versa, m.m., the same for snowy, icy, etc It is not necessary for snow or ice to accumulate to use these descriptions for the weather. Do the sentence it was raining and the sentence it rained mean the same thing
I walked to the park vs I was walking to the park mean the same thing What are the best foods to have on a rainy day What are the best foods to have for a rainy day Which preposition would be appropriate here? To talk about the weather, we idiomatically use it
Yesterday it rained (at least once) to talk about the type of weather you might use rainy It is rainy in wales (usually) yesterday, it was rainy It was a rainy day Use i didn't leave my home, for example. Is it correct to say today is rainy (or tomorrow will be frost.) It will be frost tomorrow
That's why i'm asking my question. I am of the notion that when you mention more than one adjective for a noun, you separate them with commas and finally an and before the last one The evening, gloomy, rainy and cold If it is rainy (sunny, windy, cloudy etc.) tomorrow sounds grammatical to me.
