>>The  weather forecast in Israel for the next several days is rain
in various parts  of the country. According to the gemara this is a
sign of a  curse<<


 


>>>>>
It is only a curse if it rains on the first night  of Sukkos at the time of 
the seudah and rains hard enough to prevent you  from eating in the sukka that 
night.   After midnight or any other  time during the chag rain is a bracha.  
Rashi says the best time for  rain is leilei Shabasos after midnight, when 
everybody is snug at home.  At  almost any other time, rain is definitely 
inconvenient but still a  bracha.
