Lightning comes - kind of indirectly - from clouds. Lightning primarily occurs when warm air is mixed with colder air masses resulting in atmospheric disturbances necessary for polarizing the atmosphere. However, it can also occur during dust storms, forest fires, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and even in the cold of winter, where the lightning is known as thundersnow.

Thunder is produced by lightning

Rain comes from clouds reaching and then exceeding saturation conditions - so that the moisture they are made up of condenses and falls as rain.
