Hello Alexander and thanks very much for your question!
你好，亚历山大，非常感谢你的提问！
Well, the English language has lots of weather-related vocabulary -- that's probably because the weather in the UK is so changeable!
英语中有很多和天气有关的词汇，这可能是因为英国的天气变化无常吧！
So, let's look at the two adjectives that you've asked about -- that's rainy and showery.
让我们来看看你问的两个形容词--rainy和showery。
When we say something like: "It's a very rainy day today"
当我们说：“It's a very rainy day today”
We mean it's raining a lot -- probably for most of the day, with only the odd break here and there in the rain, or maybe no breaks at all.
我们的意思是雨下得很大，可能一天的大部分时间都在下雨，只有零星的间歇，或者根本没有间歇。
But when we describe the weather as showery, what we mean is that usually it rains for a while,
但是当我们用showery形容天气时，我们要表达的意思是通常会下一会儿雨，
then it stops raining for a while and then it starts again and there's off-and-on rain through the day.
然后雨停了一段时间，然后又开始了，一整天都断断续续地下雨。
When we talk about the weather in English, we generally use a mixture of adjectives and nouns and we have a few standard expressions as well.
