Most people here, it seem like, love rain. I can't stand it! It rains so much where I come from. Right now, it's July and it's raining like it's November!

I love rain. Not every day. The sunshine is nice too. I love thunderstorms in particular.

I knew it! I'm the only here who hates rain! What's to like about it? It's spoils everything! I actually have sensory issues with rain.

I love being out in the rain. It's so cooling and calming.

It depends on my mood I think. If I'm feeling a rubbish then it tends to make me feel worse. But sometimes it's quite nice being under an umbrella hearing the rain. :)

I enjoy the rain, as long as I'm confined to my house that day. I hate having to go out in it, though.

How is calming to you? I don't understand why people find it calming. I hate the feel of it on skin.

I also love the rain. It's better than the extra hot temperatures.

It's normally akin to how i'm feeling.
And the little droplets feel nice, to me.
Especially if i'm out running, it cools the skin.

Yes. People like different things.
Interesting biased title of the thread, by the way. :lol:

It baffles me when I see many people out in the rain, which is often. I can't stand it myself.

We have rainy weather out here on the East Coast too this year!

I HATE rain! I understand the importance of it. If mother nature would compromise with me (sun all day, and rain all night) I would be perfectly content. I just don't want to have to see the rain. It is not the greyness either, as I do not mind cloudy days.

I meltdown if I get too wet, so I literally cannot tolerate the rain. I also have this stupid fear of worms :oops: and am so grossed out by them that I dread any rain at all in the forecast because I know they will be everywhere.

I wish it would rain every day. It just has this calming effect on me. Everyone walks around all dreary like its the end of the world just because of a little bit of rain and I'm always the one smiling.

I love it. Just everyone else around me (at home) always moans about it and disrespects it. How dare they mock my dear rain!! :x
