Sorry chaps! Absolutely no idea where to put this.
Staring out of the window at the rain. There are 12 songs hinted at in this exchange. A slice of kayak to the first person to name them all.
On the local news, here is what the people of Gloucester were saying today.
Cut to two old ladies being interviewed under an umbrella.
“ It’s Dreadful, simply dreadful! We used to do the bonnet display at Easter but could never be sure of the weather. We had freak weather one year. It simply poured, but it wasn’t just clear water, it was coloured. Mauve it was!”
“I think it was a deeper colour than that. Anyway, we changed it to late July. We’ve been praying hard to allow the event to go off successfully”
“ It just makes me want to weep! I think I may be hydrophobic. I’ve had to stumble three miles, in my waders, to get here today. But I got here”
“I don’t mind it. It’s hail I can’t stand. The forecast is for hail on Tuesday.”
“Why do you care? You’re going on holiday.”
"As long as it stops raining before the end of August; that’s all I care about. But even if it doesn’t I’m going to the Costa del Sol. It hardly ever rains there.”
"Look Martha. It’s stopped. There’s the cathedral”

I've gone for classic Rain related songs and strangely, Jane, although I liked your take on it, you got as many points as Phil.
I thought it was so easy!
Thanks for reading anyway, (it has no redeeming features at all now!)

Rain
Purple rain
The rain in Spain
I can’t stand the rain
Here comes the rain again
Raindrops keep falling on me ‘ead.
I can see clearly (now the rain has gone…)
Ch-ch-ch-changes (of dates due to the rain)
These boots are made for walking (in the rain!)
Holiday in the sun.
It's (not) raining men.
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day.

I thought of 'Dr Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain' but it seems I was wrong. Also, 'Might as well rain until September.'

Hi Loftdweller
You'll be pleased to know that 50% of your guesses are correct. But, sadly, only one point.
No kayak for you!

Hi Woody
Just the one I'm afraid.
I can stand it no more; the answers are:
On the local news, here is what the people of Gloucester were saying today.
Cut to two old ladies being interviewed under an umbrella.
“ It’s Dreadful, simply dreadful! We used to do the bonnet display at Easter but could never be sure of the weather. (Don’t rain on my parade) We had freak weather one year. It simply poured, (Stormy weather) but it wasn’t just clear water, it was coloured. Mauve it was!” (April showers (It isn’t raining rain you know, it’s raining violets))
“I think it was a deeper colour than that. (Purple rain) Anyway, we changed it to late July. We’ve been praying hard to allow the event to go off successfully”
“ It just makes me want to weep! (Crying in the Rain) I think I may be hydrophobic. (I can’t stand the rain) I’ve had to stumble three miles, in my waders, to get here today. (Just walking in the rain) But I got here (I made it through the rain)”
“I don’t mind it. It’s hail I can’t stand. The forecast is for hail on Tuesday.” (A hard rain’s gonna fall)
“Why do you care? You’re going on holiday.”
"As long as it stops raining before the end of August; (It may as well rain until September) that’s all I care about. But even if it doesn’t I’m going to the Costa del Sol. It hardly ever rains there.” (The rain in Spain)
"Look Martha. It’s stopped. There’s the cathedral” (I can see clearly now)
