Usually done in similes (with the use of "like" or "as"), the words next to the word rain are important.
Her smile is like the summer rain. (Summer rain, where I live, is usually a sudden warm downpour, therefore her smile is warm and all encompassing. Of course, some people live where there are monsoons in the summer.)

It could mean that they are cool and refreshing. Or maybe they are electric and threatening since thunderstorms are a summer phenomenon. Here in the deep south, a summer rain just makes things more humid, muggy, and sweaty. Oh, and breeds more mosquitos to slap at.

It could be interpreted as they are refreshing and welcomed. Just like rain that comes unexpectedly in the summer, it is cooling and a nice change from the oppressive heat.

Maybe the old saying "summer rains, you can never predict them"?
