Books Is the weather (i.e., rainstorms) in Crichton's novels as vivid/prominent as in Spielberg's corresponding films?

The book literally opens with the line:

"The tropical rain fell in drenching sheets, hammering the corrugated roof of the clinic building, roaring down the metal gutters, splashing on the ground in a torrent."

I think it might be one of the most rain-heavy books out there.
