🌧 Rain Totem
The Rain Totem is a Totem in Stardew Valley. When consumed, it guarantees rainy weather the following day (except in Winter). Like other totems, it is single-use and is consumed upon activation.
This is especially useful for watering crops automatically, filling fish ponds, and triggering rain-dependent events such as the Mermaid Show or certain Heart Events.
