Rain in Star Trek

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Saw this pic in an ENT thread and started wondering how often we saw rain in Star Trek. I can recall a few snow/blizzard type scenes which let you know that conditions were inhospitable to humans but rain.. was it raining in ENT's The Seventh as well as this scene from ANIS?



I'm thinking it never rained on VOY but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I had one scene in my head I was trying to place but I realized it was Kamino

It rained on Ferenginar though.. didn't it?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

It rained on Ferenginar though.. didn't it?

Yep. In fact it literally never stops raining on that world.

Because of that, the Ferengi have 178 different words for rain, depending on the specific kind of rain that's falling. And they have no word for "crisp", obviously.

In a TAS Episode I think Scotty, Kirk and McCoy nearly drowned in a downpour after hiding in a giant vase

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Hey wait a minute. I thought it never rains in southern California...don't you know I've heard that kind of talk before?

 

[Therin of Andor]

Khan's literary allusion to Satan's statement from "Paradise Lost": "Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n."

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Oh you are a bad man Therin.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

It rains in The Voyage Home.

It's raining in DS9: "The Visitor".

That TAS episode CommishSleer mentioned is called "The Lorelei Signal". That's not Scotty, though, it's Lieutenant Carver.

Rain, along with headaches, was cured by the 24th century.

The episodes set on Ferenginar

I'm thinking it never rained on VOY but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

That one episode where Tom gets framed for murder and we all the flashbacks. Him and the victim's wife came in from the rain.

 

[BoredShipCapt'n]

I suppose it never rained in TOS because they didn't want the velour uniforms to shrink any more than they already were. And in season 3, they probably didn't have the budget for towels or anything.

It rains on Risa in DS9's "Let he who is without Sin..."

 

[Nerys Myk]

Hey wait a minute. I thought it never rains in southern California...don't you know I've heard that kind of talk before?

Only in the strip clubs.

 

[Finn]

Nice

That's right! Thank you!

I would like there to be more weather in Trek but I realize most of it is set on ships or a space station

And people don't go hang out on the holodeck to sit in rain.. though really if you had been in a tin can for months or years you might start to miss rain. I know my favorite weather is when it rains and is very hot, I'd probably make myself a nice porch looking out over a nice tropical view and have it raining and hot for my holodeck time.

 

[Ethros]

Yep. In fact it literally never stops raining on that world.

Not to derail the thread but is that even feasibly possible? Everywhere, all at once? Hope they have good flood defenses..

From TNG's We'll Always Have Paris

PICARD: Oh, I got the days confused. I thought it was Tuesday when it was Wednesday. I went to the Cafe Moulin instead of the Cafe des Artistes.
JENICE: Ah, that's better. It was raining and you couldn't find a cab. I waited all day. And it was raining. It rained the rest of the week. I went to Starfleet headquarters looking for you, but you'd already shipped out. So, come on, Jean-Luc. Let's hear the truth.

It actually doesn't rain all the time on Ferenginar. Just a hell of a lot.

DATA: It was raining in the city by the bay... a hard rain. Hard enough to wash the slime...
PICARD: Data!
