I couldn't pass a up answering a question about rain from a person using the name Stormy. Technically, if something is falling it is moving downward, so by definition, nothing can fall upward. However, raindrops commonly move upward during thunderstorms because of updrafts that exert a stronger force than gravity. This is how hail forms - raindrops get blown upward to high altitude where the air temperature may be as cold as 40 degrees below zero, where they form hail balls. Every time you see hail, it is because raindrops were blown upward by convection currents in a storm cloud. The size of a hail ball is a measure of how strong the upward winds are. The hail balls grow in size as they blow upward, and then they drop when they are too heavy, so stronger upward winds produce bigger hail balls.

Yes, It does. All the tiny drops of water is pulled by the gravitation force of earth and naturally it falls on the ground or the object at the ground. It can also splash up after hitting an object . If the wind is strong enough and blowing in the some direction it can push the rain side ways to hit some object as well.

It splashes up and I suppose if the wind is strong enough and blowing in the right direction it can push the rain up, but "falling" indicates that something is being pulled down by gravity. Nothing can fall up.
