Remove 'rain' from descriptions

[mattss]

In my continued effort to streamline the display, I propose removing the word 'rain' from status descriptions i.e.

6PM: Light Rain (50%) -> 6PM: Light (50%)
8PM: Heavy Rain (50%) -> 8PM: Heavy (50%)
10PM Drizzle (40%) -> stays the same

Given that every status relates to rain, the word rain doesn't add anything here and may prevent the information running onto two lines (which I really dislike).

What if it's snow or sleet? We may still need the precipitation type.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I was only suggesting removing the word rain from the summary (if it contains the word rain).

Just as 'Drizzle' stays the same in the example above, as would 'Sleet' or 'Light Snow'.

So you'd have 'Light' meaning Light Rain, and 'Light Snow' meaning Light Snow. I guess I'm going for the 90% use case which is checking for rain.

Ok, I see. Yes I think that's fine.
