What does 雨の夜 mean, and why is の used there?

雨の夜 literally means a night of rain.

In natural English, that usually becomes a rainy night or on a rainy night.

Here, の connects two nouns:

• 雨 = rain
• 夜 = night

So 雨の夜 is a noun phrase meaning a rain-night / a night with rain.

This is a very common use of の in Japanese: it links nouns in a way that can mean of, with, for, or something adjective-like depending on context.

Examples:

• 日本の車 = Japanese car / car of Japan
• 冬の朝 = winter morning
• 雨の夜 = rainy night
