It never rains but it pours - when things don't just go

wrong but very wrong and other bad things happen too.

It's raining cats and dogs -  it's raining very hard.

On cloud nine -  to be extremely happy.

Put on ice - to postpone for another day.

Ray of hope - there is a chance that something positive

will happen.

Save for a rainy day - to save for the future when

it might suddenly be needed (unexpectedly).

Steal my thunder - when someone takes attention away from someone else.

Storm in a teacup - when someone makes a small problem larger than it really is.

Take a rain check -  decline something now but offer to do it at a later date.

Throw caution to the wind -  to go crazy and forget all responsibilities or commitments.

Under the weather - you are not feeling well
