Sideways sheets of rain

Hi! Could you please explain what 'sideways sheets of rain' means? Thank you.
  

Top answer

We refer to very heavy rainfall as a "sheet" of rain, one we can't see past. If the wind is strong as well, we have sideways sheets of rain. It's also sometimes known as 'horizontal rain'.
