Are they the same meaning? 1) It's raining. I'd rather stay here until it stops raining. 2) It rains now. I'd rather wait until it stops raining.

"It rains now," is not something a native speaker would say. "I'd rather wait until..." and "I'd rather stay here until..." can both be used.

"It rains now" is not how a native speaker would say it. Choose "It is raining" instead.

It should be "It's raining now." Otherwise, they essentially mean the same thing.

If you read something written in very archaic English you might see "it rains now". Present simple used to be commonly used where present continuous now is. Nowadays you'd only see "it rains now" in very old texts or in poetry.
