It seems that there is a weather term for every extreme type of weather ( example. severe snow= blizzard), but I've never heard of any weather caster saying something other than severe rain for severe rain. Is there another word?

downpour just makes me think of heavy rain. what about rain so severe it is life threatening?

Others have nearly said this, but a huge rain is a torrent

The only other word/ phrase I can think of is torrential rain. Anything else results in a weather condition, but is usually powered by winds such as monsoon, hurricane, etc.
Interesting question though.

Monsoon. It's a term for an extremely rainy condition occurring mostly in countries with tropical climates (e.g. India) where it rains heavily for days/weeks on end.

I am from seattle and we have many names for rain!
Severe Rain can be called a Major Downpour
The opposite is called drizzle!

torrential rain or downpour
A torrent is a powerful directed force and is usually used to describe very heavy rain.
