Does anyone here love to be in the rain?

I do. I love to walk in it, just walking. I also love to exercise outside, so I can never actually be sweating hot. I love to dance, and jump in puddles.

:D

I don't at all. I've damaged my cartilage from cross country and wrestling, so now rain makes my knees throb. :/

there is nothing quite like a hot weather rainstorm, being a naturalist and walking out under nature's shower, a delicious feeling on bare skin. when it is cold, however, i prefer an umbrella and warm clothes. i like the sound of the rain falling and hitting the ground, the soft pitter-patter on the grass and the hard splatter on concrete. i like the rain-breezes, the scents and misty spray in the wind.

So long as I don't have to ride my bike through when it's 30 degrees Fahrenheit out, or when I have to go sit in an air conditioned class room for 3 hours, it's quite nice. I actually enjoy riding home through pouring rain, then immediately hopping into a hot shower.

I also love the sound of rain, hitting the ground, just love the sound of rain. It's very peaceful and soothing, sounding.

How can it rain in 30 degrees Fahrenheit without there being snow?

Anyway, I don't really mind the rain so long as I don't have to get out in it. I'm like a cat, I hate getting wet. I especially hate waking up on a school day when it's raining.

It's called freezing rain, and it sucks (only ridden through it a few times). Though that was mostly just a slip on my part, and was meant to be 35-40 (still sucks).

I don't like rain. One of my sensory issues is if I am wearing wet clothing, or being wet when you're not "supposed" to be wet (i.e., like in the shower or in the pool.) And I can't STAND to walk around in wet clothing. I used to wait an hour for my family to go on the river rides at amusement parks for this reason. Walking around in wet shoes/socks/feet is the pits. Even now I shudder to think about it.

Don't much care for the sound of rain, either, as I have trouble sleeping with the slightest of sounds. For about 5 years, I have slept with a fan on every night to create white noise to drown out the annoying sounds.

I like rainbows, though. :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot about freezing rain. I feel stupid right now. :roll:

I love going for walks in the rain. It relaxes and refreshes me. :)

I like the smell and sound of rain, but I hate going outside in it, especially since there's always the chance it'll ruin my iPod.

I love rainbows too. I also know what you mean wearing wet clothing walking around in them I hate that. I hate the drenched clothes and walking around. But for me I like walking through the rain, while people are running to get shelter I take my time. I never been drenched in rain. I hope to never be totally drenched.

I love to hear it fall, at night, when I'm laying in bed, with my eyes closes, drifting off to sleep.

So do I. That's one of the best feelings in the world - laying in bed, in the dark, with only the pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof... Ahhh...
