Weather In Lyrics Challenge

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the fifth in the series of Challenges.

Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.

                                                               WEATHER IN LYRICS CHALLENGE

Below is an alphabetical list of weather-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.

The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.

Hints/clues:

Some words appear in more than one song. In these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears is shown in [x].

Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.

Note: you are not looking for other weather-related words which may be in the lyrics of Beatles` songs but those in the list. Should you find any of the words in songs not on my list, as in the previous Challenges, I will re-check my sources and give my verdict with an explanation as to my decision

No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.

Rules:

Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers.

You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.

This Challenge will open at 11pm tonight [Sunday 28 April] when the first answers can be submitted up to 11pm tomorrow [Monday], when the first results will be announced.

On each subsequent day/night, answers can be submitted after midnight until 11pm.

The list of weather-related words is given in the next post.

Good luck.

By the way, if we have all posted, is there any point waiting till 11pm tomorrow @Mi-Amigo 

[MI5]

It'll be a good race at midnight for the last two answers

What and miss the 12 chimes of midnight Express?

OK guys.

All five of you have given answers so rather than keep you waiting I will give the results now:

@MI5  RAIN = I Am The Walrus  - correct

@jonsie  SUN = Sheik Of Araby - incorrect [BBC live recording, not allowed as answer]

@Glory1  SUN = Fool On The Hill - correct

@Bambino  SUN = Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - correct

@Cleoriff  SUN = Two Of Us - correct

There are now just three answers - RAIN [2 answers] and SUN [1 answer].

With five players, it would be unfair as this Challenge draws to a close for "fastest finger first".

Therefore I have made a decision.

Each of the five players can submit one answer only to either RAIN or SUN by pm to me and must not post or comment on this on the thread. You will have until 11pm to pm me.

I will announce the results at 11pm and declare the winner/winners who have submitted the most correct answers in the whole of the Challenge.

I hope you all agree that this is the fairest way to bring this to an end.

Thank you all for playing and hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have running it.

Good luck

The Sheik of Araby from the Anthology album, does that album not count @Mi-Amigo ?

Sorry @jonsie  Anthology was released outside the timeframe for the Challenge, also the albums contain material which was not released at the time inc live recordings, BBC sessions and demo tapes.
