das Wetter
"How much better is WETTER weather!" say the smoking ducks (n) enjoying the rain.
In Germany, there is a phrase known as "Fritz Walter Wetter". It refers to West Germany's best player in the 1954 World Cup, who because of a
medical condition caused by developing malaria while in Africa, was only able to play to his potential when it was raining. In the final against Hungary, it rained, so West Germany went on to win!
