It has exactly the same form as "It's raining at the moment", it's just that the current period has been extended to the whole day. | |

| Aug 24, 2020 at 22:16 | comment | added | Greybeard | "It's raining all day today" is more idiomatic. But it needs context. A: "It's still raining!" B: "Yes, the weather forecast said it's raining all day today." | |
