'''Rain''' is a common weather type found in every GTA game since [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. As with all other weather types, it helps the game bring a realistic atmosphere for any city it takes place on, and it is a crucial aspect for gameplay. Rain usually occurs after 3-5 days of gameplay, depending of the climate of the city.

== Rain in GTA III Era ==
First introduced in GTA III, rain is first preceded by a cloudy climate, after which a few raindrops may start falling. Once rain starts to become stormy, streets become shinny and reflect the lights of cars and post lights, and thunders and lightnings appear. If the player is [[driving]], it may be more difficult to maintain control of the [[Vehicles|vehicle]], as the streets are more slippery.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], raindrops forming in the camera were added.

Since [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] takes place in more than one city, rain is different in each city. In [[Los Santos]], rain occurs every 5 days, while in [[San Fierro]] is more recurring. In [[Las Venturas]], it is very rare to see rain, as it is close to the desert.
