Notice what different details you use and the language you use to describe it. Now, try doing the exact same thing using a different emotion. Does your character notice the slush kicking up on the side of a passing bus? A woman pushing a baby carriage? Litter on the ground? Puffy clouds? Thin wispy ones that reflect the pink sunset? You can use weather and time of day, but don't just rely on those things. Describe the scene with this emotional standpoint in mind (either from a 1st or 3rd person perspective) and try to bring in surrounding physical details that help convey it. Imagine your main character sitting there and pick an emotional state for him or her to be in. I don't care if it's your backyard, a street corner or a park bench. Take a look out your window and pick a spot. As writers we can convey this very subtly. So how does a writer convey mood using setting without being over the top or cliche? What we as observers notice is directly dependent upon our emotional state. Heavy-handed, yes, but it does get the point across.
Usually this scene is accompanied by some sort of sad piano music and probably it all happens at night.
Everyone has seen a movie where, after some disappointment or defeat, the very sad protagonist walks alone through the rain.
