#2: Initial revision
It's in the language: words like "grey", "dreary" evoke sadness. The sky might be _weeping_ (though that's a little over the top and overused). A _lonely_ seagull might be _crying plaintively_. Wind might be _bighting_. Adjectives and adverbs associated with sadness would relate the stormy weather to the emotion you're trying to set for the scene. Compare that to _generous_ drops falling onto _parched_ earth, _washing away_ some negative whatever. Same rain, different mood. Here, different adjectives set the rain instead as a blessing and a relief.
