When it rains, it pours

[faraway]

....When it rains (humid) - it (still) pours....

Thank you! I knew it was not a matter of proper translation and you told me the story behind it

Actually, this would be the proper saying in German: Wenn es regnet, gießt es.

That is the correct translation word by word but it makes no sense to my German ears. That is typical for sayings where word by word translation is misleading at best.
A frequent used example is the German saying: to be "schwer auf Draht". That translates: to be "heavy on wire" and makes no sense to you, right? It means someone is clever
This is a page full of German sayings with totally useless word by word English translations:
