calm down : To "let up" means to calm down, diminish or even stop completely. We can use this phrasal verb in many contexts, not just for the weather. For example, "I told him to stop talking, but he just wouldn't let up".
intensify: To "let up" does not express that the rain will "come down harder" or "intensify", but rather that it will calm down or stop completely.
start at last: To "let up" does not express that the rain will "start at last". "At last" means "after a long time" or "finally", for example: After waiting for hours, I met the president at last.
move north: To "let up" does not express that the rain will "move north". It is true that "up" is sometimes used to indicate a northern direction or movement, however the phrasal verb "to let up" expresses a different meaning.
