In chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby, it was indeed raining. That was the day that the meeting occured between Gatsby and Daisy. When Daisy arrives at the mansion, Gatsby is just coming in from a walk in the rain.
Fitzgerald uses weather as a literary device in "The Great Gatsby" to mirror the emotions and events happening within the story. For example, the use of rain during Gatsby's reunion with Daisy reflects the tension and emotional storm brewing between the characters. In contrast, the bright and sunny weather during Gatsby's parties symbolizes the facade of glamour and opulence masking deeper insecurities and unfulfilled desires.
F. Scott Fitzgerald used weather as both an omen and a reflection of the mood of the Great Gatsby. The ominous storms brewing foretell the disaster in the very near future.
The rain adds to the drama. It reflects how awkward and tense it is; as the weather clears, so does the mood of the meeting between Gatsby and Daisy.
