Is Baku Ra?
Might be a sun god of some description. There's quite a few to choose from. Do we have a rain god here in the DT? Could really use on rn as the garden is so dry.
Tangential story: I was once at an event that had a pocket sundial as a gift. When a VIP was explaining how to use it, they looked around asked”Whereis the sun?” And a child yelled that they should bend over. Utterly inappropriate and hilarious.
The weather was brought by my good friend, Hiyoribō. I just eat bad dreams
Oh, and for rain you go to Ameonna. She does kidnap and eat children though, so I'd advise only calling if you're in dire need of water
