i'm looking for a children's book. I think it might be an older book and possibly out of print. Its about how it rained every day all year except one hour during a particular day and all the children look forward to it all year long and this little girl just hppens to get locked in the closest on the day and the hour when it doesn't rain and she  misses it?

Does anyone remember this story. Can you help me?

There is a science fiction short story of that theme.  I think by Ray Bradbury.

I agree, it is All Summer's in a Day by Ray Bradbury.
