"It is starting to rain" means it has just started precipitation and you might not even call it "raining" yet. This is called the present continuous tense.
"It has started to rain" (correcting the grammar from "is" to "has") means the rain started some time ago, probably not that long, but longer than "it is starting", it is certainly what you would call "raining", and the rain has not yet stopped. This is called the present perfect tense.
Thanks to Nicholas Krapels for the tenses!
