Okay here's a few:

1. Blame it on the Rain - Milli Vanilli
2. Flower Girl
3. Itsy Bitsy Spider.

And the most famous weather related song of them all:

IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING...blah blah blah.

Re: Songs About Weather

I posted it as "Over the Rainbow" in message #4 of this thread:

Over the Rainbow - Judy Garland
Over the Rainbow - Bruddah IZ

Okay here's a few:

1. Blame it on the Rain - Milli Vanilli
2. Flower Girl
3. Itsy Bitsy Spider.

And the most famous weather related song of them all:

IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING...blah blah blah.

Carly Simon has a nice version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider" on her Coming Around Again album from 1988.

"IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING...." end up in the last few verses of Supertramp's "It's Raining Again" single from 1982.
