The act to hide under the roof or something when it rains
Hello everyone,
I want to know the word or idioms that you usually use of the act to hide under the roof or something like that (such as under tree) when it rains.
I found the words "shelter or take shelter". But it feels too strong for me. I wonder it is supposed to be used in case of kind of storm.
When you walk on the street, it starts rain, you find a tree, and hide under the tree to avoid getting rain, how do you say the act?
I would be very happy if you give me advice.
Thank you.
