Spring Showers Bring Inventor Power
The sporadic rain showers that springtime is known for can be a real hassle! This is especially true if you’re someone who has to commute for work or spend a lot of time outside. From getting wet and muddy to dealing with poor visibility on the roads, rainy weather can cause a range of inconveniences and hazards. However, thanks to innovative inventors and entrepreneurs, there are many exciting inventions that can help make rainy weather more manageable. Here, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most useful inventions for rainy weather.

Umbrella Opening and Closing System
This invention can take you straight from spring into summer with an upgraded patio umbrella system. The traditional umbrella is arguably one of the greatest inventions of all time. It keeps you dry in the rain, cool in the summer, and can even block severe weather like hail and wind. While the original umbrella proved incredibly useful, people have been making improvements and innovations on its design and function for years. For example, this patio umbrella is fully equipped with lights, an entertainment system, and an electronic opening and closing system powered by solar. Other inventors have improved the coating of the fabric material or the comfort of the handle design. It’s safe to say that this is a pretty stellar product – thanks to its many inventors!
Raincoat for Dogs
Sure, there’s plenty of options for us humans when it comes to raincoats, but did you know that there’s a solution for your puppy friend too? This hilariously unique invention just proves that there’s still so much room for innovators to improve upon existing products. People have turned old coolers into houses for stray cats, created vending machines for dog food, made stairs and ramps for smaller pets, and now there’s raincoats for dogs! The possibilities are endless when it comes to inventing for pets AND for inventing for rain.
Sensor for Detecting Raindrops
We’ve covered staying dry with umbrellas and raincoats, but another area of concern when it rains is safety on the roads. This inventor has come up with a sensor that detects raindrops on the windshield of your car, and it initiates your windshield wipers to start working. With both the sensor and the wipers working in sync, your windshield will remain as clear as possible for driving through thunderstorms.
