Origin
disputed originLate Victorian; one of many 'right as...' similes, this one surviving largely because of its alliteration (rain being seen as normal and restorative).
The mechanic fixed the engine yesterday, and now the car is running as right as rain.
Although the patient suffered a minor setback during recovery, the doctor assured the family that he would soon be as right as rain.
