like its' raining?  Thanks.

Here's one way:

Look for Gilles Trans Wet Bird entry at the IRTC too, it's another scene
made to look wet and rainy.

Basically you want some reflection on most everything.  Then a dents normal
might suffice to look like rainfall is hitting things.  Ground type fog is
probably best for the decreasing visibility, and adding turbulence with
several octaves should add droplets (although not very well IMHO).
Media might be a nice option if it renders fast enough for you, it could be
made granular using low sampling but enough samples to smooth that out.

also remember that most rain doesn't show up on film which is why
hollywood uses rain makers even when it's raining.  they need to make
giant drops or we can't see it.  that's why gilles' image looks so
good.  he didn't add rain, just the effects of rain.
