Fish are unable to regulate their body temperature, so they are influenced by the temperature around them. If the water is warm, fish metabolism accelerates, feeding and respiration increases, and there is a general increase in movement. If the water is cooler, fish become lethargic and tend to be inactive.

It's a weird question to ask, but think about it: just because fish are wet all the time doesn't mean a rainstorm has no effect. Storms bring waves and choppy water that can make it hard for fish to swim. And changes in light, temperature, and pressure can be uncomfortable, or even dangerous.
