Is rain always right?

Question:Why do we say"As right as rain"?

Answers:
Well it would be pointless to argue with it
never heard of it #"!
cause rain is clear!
I think it might be because water is a necessity for life. Therefore rain is always right. But you can have to much of a good thing.
the original phrase, 17th century, is "Right as Reign>"
it refers to the supposed divine right of monarchsl
it means `clear`or` pure.`
It could just as well be 'right as clouds' or any number of other things, but 'rain' it is, doubtless because of the allure of alliteration. The expression has had neavy work since the late 19th century, but an example from 1909 (in Max Beerbohm's 'Yet Again') has the virtue of offerin two cliches in one sentence: 'He looked.'fit as a fiddle', or 'right as rain'.'" From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).

Basic meaning is an Idiom:- If things are right as rain, then everything is going well in your life.
Rain is a blessing of God and a blessing is never wrong or bad! :)
Technically, no. Long ago, people referred to straight as 'right'. A straight line was a 'right line'. The saying probably means that something is correct as sure as rain comes down in a straight line. But rain doesn't always come down in a straight line. I can't believe I am writing this instead of being in bed asleep.
