Meaning of "愈下愈大"

葛修远   April 27th, 2010 4:41p.m.

Can anyone confirm what this means? I've got it in the phrase "雨愈下愈大", and I'm guessing it's the equivalent of "raining cats and dogs" or "tipping it down".

Any ideas?

愈 means “the more … the more …”
雨愈下愈大 literally means, the more it rains the heavier or "It’s raining heavier and heavier".
