Learners sometimes say *"it is rain"* instead of *"it is rainy" or "it is raining". Use "rainy" as an adjective before a noun ("a rainy day") or after "be" ("it is rainy"). Also, the comparative form is "rainier" and the superlative is "rainiest", not *"more rainy"* or *"most rainy"* in most contexts.
