I love the rain. I have always loved cloudy weather and hearing the rain around me. Do you enjoy this type of weather Or do you prefer sunny times?

I love rainy weather too! When I was a kid I used to love playing in the rain but now I love looking outside through the window. Everything looks so fresh and clean. I love sitting on my bed with a warm cup of tea and looking outside when it's raining

Yes, I love rain! Some of my best memories are about rain: standing on the porch, wrapped in a blanket and watching a cold rain, waking up to thunder and lightning, sitting in a car and listening to the rain pound the roof... I often find an excuse to get out of the house when it rains.

From the moment when the effect of the damage done to the ozone layer has been evidently affecting the hotness of the sun that gets unfiltered to planet earth, it is always a welcome moment when it gets to be a cloudy day. However, I do not want it to be raining during the daytime. Rains pouring during the daytime stops people from their usually activities. I always feel too lazy or cowardly to brave the rain in order to do some marketing or shopping for groceries at the supermarket. Neither would I want to venture outside of the home in order to walk the dog. There are so many things that most of us will postpone for another day, doing some types of particular tasks. Or, we might only be forced to do some tasks which cannot be postposned for another day. I love the rain to pour in the late evenings. Those are the types of rain that cannot deter us from proceeding with our daily tasks. And the plus factor is, it cools the nights for such nice deep sleeping hours and we wake up to a cool and refreshed new day.

that is very much true. We are damaging environment in high rates which results in depletion of ozone layer.because of this we always see hot sun and it is hard to see rainy season.

I agree, It is better when the rains come in the afternoon. That way it affects the daily business less and we still have the joy of the rain.

It depends on my mood. Sometimes, I love it when it rains because I would stay at home, read a book, have a cup of coffee or choco, and just laze around the house. However, when I have outdoor activities, of course I hope in does not rain.

Yes the rain is not suitable for doing outdoor activities. I love it when I am indoors also.

It depends on rain, summer rain, came on suddenly, sometimes with the sun in the sky, rain light, small and fast to stop more than cool sign that warm clouds are not high-rise, I delight, often surprised by such rain I ran to the shelter, even my cheeks up to it and I got hair spray, thin neck and summer dresses. But all those summer rains are famous for lightning that light away, accompanied by the voice of thunder bubuitotr as close, those showers are scary, and I shudder being often made ??to understand how fragile nature can be unleashed, especially when I was caught away from home, making me run to the nearest shelter, once I took refuge in an abandoned hut in the field and I'll never forget the fear of being alone in a world that became suddenly hostile ... On the other hand there are rains monotonous, obsessive and fall that are disheveled soul melancholy, sitting at the window, you realize that summer has passed and you realize that you went with it ... rain is, at least for me, a event more spiritual than physical ...

I get what you are saying. I really do see how it can be spiritual. Thank you for such a great response!

I love rain storms. They relax me. I love to hear the thunder so much and the hard rain. I love to see it in front of street lights at night. glowin100

Personally, with living in the Seattle area, a person gets tired of Rain and gloomy weather, so for us any day that it is still around 60 this time of yr. and Sunny we are Happy. I know that the main thing I miss that we do not see much of here is the Fall foliage. That is the one thing I miss.

I guess it makes sense that a person would get tired of that weather. They say too much of anything is a bad thing.

I love the rain.Rain is synonymous with relief,passion,romance,love,fun,frolic and all the good things of life that are rare.So I enjoy the rains,enjoy getting wet,enjoy watching the patter of raindrops on the window pane-I jut love everything associated with the rains.And not to forget we are stuck indoors so there is quality family time spent together over cups of tea or coffee and snacks.

I don't mind a little rain here and there. However, when it rains around these parts, it really does rain. It really does interfere with my mood and thus something that interrupts my mood, will interrupt my productivity. The rain can be a decent thing in small doses and it allows the world to be nice and green. However, there are a lot of times where rain rather is going to be something that can slowly grind on my nerves. Of course, its not the rain that is the worst thing. Rather it is the things that go along with the rain. The things like high winds, lightning, all of that wonderful stuff. It can lead to some bad conditions. Rain on its own, not so bad. However, it does seem like that more often than not, rain is not the only thing that comes along for the ride. So yeah a little rain is more than fine, but really as long as it does not out of control.

I understand you perfectly. They say too much of anything is bad. Plus the rain does have a way of carrying unwanted things along.

I love rainy weather, as well! My CB 'handle' is Rainy Day Lady. I drove a truck cross country for 17 and a half years, rain/shine/or snow! I could and would happily drive in rain for hours while listening to my CB and most of the other drivers were complaining about the rain. Not me ,I loved it! I sleep very well with the rain falling on my 'tin roof' - I now live and travel in my 31' 5th wheel travel trailer - still trucking, different mode! (without the pay, I might add as well)

Hi, joseph! Same here.. I love hearing the rain drops around me. I only love the rain when I'm in the house already. I hate walking in the wet streets. I hate it when I get my feet wet. Hehehe.. That's the only time I love the rain. When I'm inside the house. Ohhh.. How I love to sleep when it rains. Hehehe

For me, it depends on the day and my situation. Now, if I was sleeping and I start hearing the light pelting of the rain it would make me feel comfortable and I could sleep more easily. Rain simply calms me down and makes me really sleepy. If it started to rain while I was at home or trying to get home from school, I would feel really irritated because I have to hold up an umbrella and get a little wet when I'm outside and I can't leave my house to go out because it's raining. But personally, I don't like the rain, I hate the feeling of getting all wet and it simply annoys me. I prefer nice warm sunny days or even just a cloudy day. But rain is a big no no for me.

I can see your reasons. Rainy weather is not the best weather to be outside in. I also love cloudy weather.

I don't like rain. I feel very down when it rains. I don't know why, maybe because of the sound of the raining pouring, and because of the darkness of the sky. I also hate going out when it rains because it's muddy. I prefer winter. No rain, and not so sunny. I love the climate here in my country. It seldom rain, and during winter, it will not snow. So I feel really good.

Hi Joseph! I don't like when it's raining nor when it's sunny. Although both weather have their advantages, I prefer when it's cloudy without rain but with gentle wind. I like gloomy weather. I don't like the sun because I don't like sweating too much. Although I like the morning sun and I like to sweat in the morning, I don't like the hotness during the afternoon. I like the rain when I'm staying at home and just cuddling up in my bed. But I don't like it when I'm trying to dry my laundry or if I have somewhere to go.

Yes both weather types have their advantages. You are so right. Rainy weather is not the best to do business in. I also love cloudy weather.

I know we need the rain, to cool down the air, and the farmers need it for their farming work. But, personally, I like the sunny weather. The rain makes it very inconvenient to go out, walking or driving. Makes me feel chilly, and get cold.
