enthalpy of rain
Normally a change of phase (in a fixed system) requires an input or extraction of heat. If so, shouldn't it get hot when it starts raining, given that megajoules of energy must be being released by the change from gaseous water to liquid water. In my experience however, rainfall is usually cool and refreshing?
