This guide only works with cs3. With Cs2 you need to use imageready. Basically the same process, but different program.
Its kinda hard to explain. (in photoshop) You need to make a layer for each fram of animation. If you want a static (non moving) background, you only need one layer of that. So lets say you have a background pic and 4 frames of rain. Open the Animation window. Click the tiny "duplicate frame" button until you have 4 frames. Select the first frame, then make only the BG pic and Rain Frame 1 visible. Select the 2nd frame and do the same, but make the 2nd rain frame visible and not the first. Repeat for 3+4. You can hit the play button to see it in action. If you want everything slowed down, select all frames (ctrl+click on the first, then last frame) then under the first frame where it says "no delay" change it to .01 seconds or something. .01 slows things down a bit. You can also make each frame has its own delay, but thats not really useful with rain.
To save it, go to File-> Save for web and Devices. Then save it as a gif.
If you want to edit an existing gif (this is how i learned) you need to go in photoshop File->import->video frames as layers. The in the file name type "*.*" This makes it able to open all files, including gifs. Open it up and it will have the animation all laid out.
here are some samples of gif's i have modified myself:
