Creating rain effect on photos can be done by using Photoshop's own blur filter. The first step that needs to be done is to increase the size of the photo canvas each 100 pixels on all sides, in order to obtain a natural rainwater effect. The next step, create a new layer for the rain effect. We give this layer a blend mode Screen and fill it with black. Then add noise, add blur, add motion blur and finally, adjust the amount of rain on the photo using the levels command. We can determine the direction of rain falling by adjusting the angle in the motion blur window. Here are the steps:
1. Open Photo, Duplicate Layer Then Increase Canvas Size.
Select menu File> Open or keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O to open your photo. Duplicate the layer by pressing Ctrl + J keys. Select menu Image> Canvas Size to increase the canvas size. In the Canvas Size window, enter the width and height of 100 pixels. Don't forget to check the Relative checkbox. Click the OK button.

2. Create a New Layer for the Rain Effect.
Go to Layer> New Layer to create a new layer. In the New Layer window, please enter a layer name, set the mode to Screen and check Fill with Screen Neutral Color (Black). Click the OK button.
3. Add Noise to the Rain Layer.
Click the Rain layer to make sure it is the active layer. Select menu Filter> Noise> Add Noise. Please fill in the Amount, select Gaussian and tick Monochromatic. Click the OK button.
4. Add Blur.
Blur the rain layer by choosing Filter> Blur> Blur.
5. Add Motion Blur.
Select menu Filter> Blur> Motion Blur. Adjust the direction of the rain by filling in the angle and size of the rain by filling in the Distance. Click the OK button.
6. Set the Amount of Rainwater With Levels.
Select menu Image> Adjustments> Levels. Please move the slider on the Input Levels to adjust the amount of rainwater you want. When finished, click the OK button.
7. Crop the Canvas.
While holding down the Ctrl key, click on the Layer 1 thumbnail to activate the selection. A selection will appear around the photo on Layer 1. Then crop the photo by selecting the Image> Crop menu.
Here is the result:
