	Rain occurs only in ~~blocks~~ with a temperature higher than 0.15 and not in certain dry biomes ([[Minecraft:deserts]], [[Minecraft:savannas]], and [[Minecraft:badlands]]). Rainstorms reduce the light level to 12 in full daylight.		Rain occurs only in biomes with a temperature higher than 0.15 and not in certain dry biomes ([[Minecraft:deserts]], [[Minecraft:savannas]], and [[Minecraft:badlands]]). Rainstorms reduce the light level to 12 in full daylight.

	Rain extinguishes [[Minecraft:fire]]s (including [[Minecraft:Flame\|flaming arrows]]). However, it does not extinguish fires on [[Minecraft:netherrack]], and it does not [[Minecraft:obsidian\|solidify]] [[Minecraft:lava]]. [[Minecraft:Mob]]s that are on fire are extinguished on contact with rain; this prevents [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s and [[Minecraft:zombie]]s from burning during the day. Conversely, [[Minecraft:endermen]] and [[Minecraft:snow golem]]s may die due to their weakness to water. Endermen teleport randomly until they find a dry place. [[Minecraft:Blaze]]s and [[Minecraft:strider]]s that are brought into the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] take damage and eventually die from being in contact with rain.
