The United States flag can be flown in all kinds of weather. But, this is only possible when the flag is made of a weather-proof material.
It can be flown whenever you want it to be. But to answer the question SHOULD it be flown in the rain, no. It should be flown when the weather permits from sunrise to sunset, unless it's an all weather flag. The American should be displayed 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset, with the exception of days it is raining. If it is raining at sunrise, you do not raise the flag. If it is not raining at sunrise, raise the flag; and if it starts to rain during the day, no matter the flag still stays up and you take it down at normal sunset.
When during a server thunderstorm or tornado a flag should not be flying because the weather conditions could rip or tear the flag.
The U.S. flag should be illuminated if flown at night. If there is no light source nearby, the flag should be taken down at sunset. Flags of other countries may have different guidelines, so it is important to refer to the specific flag code of that country.
Flying a flag during a thunderstorm and tornado can be dangerous as the metal pole can attract lightning, increasing the risk of a lightning strike. Additionally, strong winds associated with these weather events can damage the flag and its pole. It is safer to wait until the weather conditions have improved before flying a flag again.
According to protocol, the US Flag should be taken down during poor weather, unless the flag is made of an all-weather, durable material. Also, the US Flag is to be taken down after dark and before dawn, unless there are lights shining on the US Flag at night.
The American Flag should always be flown higher than the state flag and should be flown a half-mast when in peril or in rememberance.
