ombrifuge
Anything that provides shelter from the rain - from an enclosed porch to an umbrella to a gazebo. Any word beginning with ombro- will relate to rain, as ombros is the Greek word for rain shower. On this note, one of my other favorite rain words is ombrogenous which describes a bog or that icky stuff called peat which depends on large amounts of rain in order to form. Spring is by nature ombrogenous.
