It is rainy today

This phrase is correct and commonly used to indicate that it is currently raining.

This phrase is used to describe the weather condition when it is actively raining on a particular day.

Examples:

  • It is rainy today, so we should bring an umbrella.
  • I heard it is going to be rainy today.

Alternatives:

  • It is raining today
  • Today is a rainy day

It is wet today

This phrase is correct and commonly used to indicate that surfaces are damp or moist, possibly due to previous rain or other reasons.

This phrase is used to describe the condition of surfaces being damp or moist, not necessarily due to current rainfall.

Examples:

  • Be careful, it is wet today and the ground is slippery.
  • It is wet today, so we should avoid walking through the grass.

Alternatives:

  • The ground is wet today
  • Everything is damp today
Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'It is rainy today' implies that it is currently raining, while 'It is wet today' suggests that the ground or surfaces are wet due to previous rain or other reasons.
