To be outside without shelter when rain suddenly starts.
Hear it in real life
Why are your shoes soaked?
I got caught in the rain walking home.
Take an umbrella, or we might get caught in the rain.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: We got caught under the rain on the way home.
Say: We got caught in the rain on the way home.
This expression uses the preposition "in," not "under"; "under the rain" is not used for this meaning.
