Could be caused by a couple of things. If you have an onsite septic system (tank and drain field) the tank may be full, and the rainwater is causing it's contents to backup the main drain back in to the house. A vent pipe could be plugged, which causes the sewer gas to back up. If you are hooked to a public sewer, there may be a blockage in the main drain out to the line in the street. Have a Plumbing contractor check it out. It can be very dangerous.

What are runoffs?
When it rains, the rainwater mixes with trash and other pollutants and it is carried down our storm drains and into our oceans. Gasoline and sewage spills from boats and ships also contribute to the pollution problems. Also if people do not clean up there trash and just leave it into our community then when it rains, the rain picks up all the trash and then goes into sewer drains, and the sewer drains lead to the ocean.

How can you unclog a washroom floor drain when it rains?
There are details you didn't give us.If your washroom floor drain only clogs when it rains, that may be a feature, not a bug. There are backflow traps that can be installed in floor drains to keep them from backing up and getting sewer water all over the floor. If your washroom floor is in the basement, the fact that it's clogging when it rains may be saving you from a big, nasty cleanup job.
