Can I Pour Concrete in the Rain?
Light rain — yes (the covered — the protected; the w/c's — the maintained); heavy rain — no (the surface's — the damaged; the washed). The rain's effect (the w/c's — the increased; the strength's — the reduced), the protection (the tarps' — the ready; the burlap's), and the ACI (the 305's — the hot's; the 306's — the cold's). The pour's — the weather's judgment.

Light vs. heavy
The drizzle (the proceed's — the covered; the maintained), the steady (the judgment's — the protection's; the tarps'), the downpour (the stopped — the washed; the surface's — the scaled), and the forecast (the radar's — the watched; the 2-hour's).
Protection methods
The tarps (the ready — the crew's; the covered), the burlap (the protected — the finished; the weighted), the enclosures (the tented — the slabs'; the heated's — the cold's), and the admixtures (the set's — the retarded; the rain's — the timed).
If rained on
The surface (the inspected — the scaled; the dusted), the testing (the cores' — the verified; the strength's), the repair (the overlay's — the ground; the replaced), and the documentation (the photos' — the rain's; the tickets' — the timed). The rain's — the w/c's enemy; the protection's — the pour's friend.
The bottom line
Pour in light rain only with tarps ready and w/c maintained — stop for downpours (surface scaling/washout); protect fresh concrete with burlap/tarps and document conditions.
