On a rainy day, the combination of higher humidity, possibly warmer temperatures, and lower atmospheric pressure usually results in air that is less dense compared to the dry conditions of a non-rainy day. This decrease in air density allows sound waves to travel more quickly, leading to the observation that sound travels faster during rainy weather.
There is more humidity in the atmosphere during rainy days. The speed of the sound usually increases with humidity and also the speed of sound in water is 4 times more than its speed in air. Therefore, sound travels faster on a rainy day.
