What Do You Think Of The Rain?

Post Reply New Topic

I love rain, and not for the reasons that you might assume. For me, it is the only time where I can get the beach to myself.... I can be alone avoiding crowds. I can be my natural self! Getting wet is a small sacrifice to pay for such a luxorius priveledge!

Oh, yes, the seaside is so great at "bad" weather!
This is also why I prefer to visit popular tourist spots in November - the "ugliest" time of the year here.

Rain is beautiful. Just not the aftermath. November is my favourite month, too!

I found some rain today. Oh boy, did I find some rain! Haha! I took some photos as well.

Looking gloomy. Rain coming!



I took shelter in here. This used to house a large WW2 gun with a 21 mile range so it could sink passing ships on the horizon.



Part of the old building I sheltered in...



The rain came...



The rain relly came!



Not surprizing that I had the beach to myself at that moment. The tide was in and splashing up onto the rocks and railway embankment which was built in the late 1840's. At least the rain had eased off a bit...

Rain is both a blessing and a curse to me. I don't enjoy being wet, but I also don't enjoy heat waves and extremely dry weather.
That's why I found the perfect solution - Autumn or Spring. Not too hot, or too cold. Too bad you can't skip seasons with the press of a button...

I love living in the Pacific Northwest which is famous/infamous for its gray skies and rainfall.

Those pictures are beautiful, MG. Thank you for sharing. I absolutely love the third one.

'Ok' because it's necessary, I think.
I myself don't mind being drenched, it's just I don't favor the cold well.
And dislike it more whenever people here fuss a lot about it. Could be better, could be worse.

Mainly because storm season exists here.


Any weather or occasion just do for me though. It's the people and their fussing that seriously puts me off.
So yes, I like the idea making any bad weather a best way to go out alone and have the whole place for myself.
It's sometimes what I do at intense summer heat waves instead of during/after ongoing storm signals -- both of which are potentially dangerous.

I like rain in the winter, as in the persistent type that maintains a mild weather front and keeps the ice, frost and snow away.

I don't like persistent rain in the summer though. I prefer it dry and hot. But I do love thundery rain showers in the summer, like heavy showers or hailstones.

Spring rain is nice.

I love rain, perhaps because it is somewhat rare where I live.

I also love the rain. I notice that I have more energy when it rains.
