Someone mentioned on this forum once that rain water will take off and ferment better than any other kind of water.
Here is an article that claims that snowflakes and rain drops mostly precipiitate around bacteria instead of always around a dust particle as previously believed. As much as 85% of the precipitate is bacteria. Specifically Psedomonas syringae bacteria.
Maybe this explains why rainwater takes off faster than regular water? Any bacteriologists out there that can explain?
Here are a couple of links:
