Rains mice and flies

This expression means the rain is fine and not heavy. It is simply means a fine rain. This expression is opposite to the expression "rains cats and dogs" which is literally mean raining very heavily. Thus, this expression is invented to connote that the rain is very slow and fine.

Examples:

Hey Salwa, you don't have to wear your raincoat. It is only raining mice and flies.

I love walking when it is raining mice and flies.

In Kurdistan, it usually rains mice and flies in fall.
