Another good and appropriate new word

 OED word of the day delivers again.

imˈbriferousadj.
Etymology: <  Latin imbrifer ( <  imber a shower): see -ferous comb. form.
 rare.
  Rain-bringing, showery.
1815  T. I. M. Forster Res. Atmosph. Phænom. (ed. 2) ii. 80 The imbriferous quality of the atmosphere.

 
Rare? The word, yes, the meaning, sadly not.
