Adele is setting fire to the rain!

On Wednesday, Aug. 14, the singer, 36, performed to thousands of fans in Munich, Germany despite the arrival of a huge storm midway through her outdoor show.

In a video shared on X, Adele walked down the steps as the rain fell. Using one hand to hold her long black gown and the other on her microphone, she then moved to the beat as she sang her song, “Oh My God.”

In another video, per Billboard, Adele joked that the rain shouldn't stop her singing one of her most famous hits.

“If it stops raining when I do ‘Set Fire to the Rain,’ I’m going to be f---ing furious,” she joked.

She also shared a snap on her Instagram Stories ahead of the show.

“ADELE IN MUNICH,” the post read. “I will be ON stage 7:30pm tonight,” she wrote alongside love heart and rain emojis.

This isn’t the first time Adele has had to perform in rain.

Back in 2017, the “Turning Tables” singer wore a plastic poncho when the rain came pouring during her show in Auckland, New Zealand.

Adele had to be rushed off the stage multiple times to dry her face with a towel but was later offered the poncho by a fan from the audience.

After opening the packet, she placed the item over her head and on top of her burgundy Zuhair Murad evening gown.

“At least it matches my dress,” she joked about the light pink poncho.
