    "It is raining right now" should be acceptable.

    Why is "it's now raining" not accepted?

      Should be. Let them know.

        'It's raining now' is better.

          Can someone explain the use of "le" in the context?

          It indicates a change in the situation, so this sentence would be used if you looked outside and said "oh, it's raining now" but not if it's been raining for a week straight.

          It indicates a change of state. Before it was not raining, now it is.

            'It has started to rain' should be accepted.
