Answer:
It is raining in the beginning of the chapter.
Explanation:
In The Great Gatsby, weather is often tied to the emotions and tone of Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. In the beginning of this scene, it is pouring rain, and Gatsby and Daisy are reunited, rather awkwardly. Their reunion is somewhat melancholy and awkward, considering how long it has been since they have seen each other and the fact that Daisy is married to Tom. The pouring rain gives the environment of narrative a bit of an awkward and melancholy tone. We see this change when their love begins to rekindle and the sun slowly comes out.
