Raining and rainy are derived from rain. You can say either ‘It’s raining’ or ‘It’s rainy’. Raining is ‘water is coming down from the clouds’. Rainy is an adjective. The weather is rainy when it rains. A rainy period of time is when it rains a lot. The choice of either raining or rainy depends on context. The question is ‘Which is better according to context?’ Note that raining is used in the idiom ‘It’s raining cats and dogs’ (meaning it is raining very hard) and rainy in ‘Save (something) for a rainy day’ (meaning ‘to save something, especially money for a time when you will need it’).

Such uniqueness of history provides both the basis for a break from either the past or from events of other places as well as the basis of a completely new future history.
