Make hay while the sun shines
When the conditions are good (when the sun is shining), it is the best time to take advantage of the situation (make hay). Things may not be favourable for long. So, it is best not to delay anything.
Raining cats and dogs.
It means raining very heavily/ a torrential downpour.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
This applies to dark clouds that are seen as rain bearing, threatening and unpleasant clouds, much like the difficulties we face in life. However, even when the clouds block out the sunlight, a silvery outline is at times visible. So, the proverb means that there is something positive even in the most difficult times.
Lightening never strikes in the same place twice.
Since lightening is known to strike and burn down trees or homes, it can be compared to unexpected and unpleasant incidents that happen to people. So, it means that the same person won’t be a victim of the same problem twice. (It is not necessarily true.)
The calm before the storm
It suggests a period of peace or relaxation before things get extremely busy or heated up (in case of an argument).
