At the time of seeking rain, one should recite the following dua:

O Allah, send down such rain in our land which will be the cause of beauty and tranquility coming about (i.e. such rain which will be the cause of beauty and adornment through it greenery and beautiful growth and a means of tranquility for the people by them seeing the vegetation growth and good harvest)
