It’s been raining here since sometime early yesterday morning, off and on, mostly on.
I forgot how much I love good all day rainstorms. For some reason, I find them wicked energizing. Right now it’s pouring down, almost straight down, with a little thunder rumbling around, and I’m just loving it. I have the screen door open and all the windows, and I feel so much better. I hadn’t seen a good two day rain like this in what seems like forever, and it’s just wonderful.
I love rain too! I was walking back to my dorm from fencing practice last week and got struck with a heavy downpour. There wasn’t a dry inch on me by the time I returned, but I was as happy as a worm!
You like the rain? Move here… it rains almost every day during the fall, winter, and spring! (and sometimes into summer, too) Okay, maybe not every day or close to it, but sometimes it definitely seems that way!

I like the rain… I just hate driving in it. Had to come home today while it was pouring out.
I love the rain, especially thunder and lightning; it reminds me of my anniversary.
We don’t get much rain where I live, though.
When I lived in the Caribbean, it rained every afternoon. And then there would be rainbows.
Sometimes there would be double rainbows!
Rain? You have actual rain?? Man, I kinda remember what that was like…Big drops of water that fall from the sky and relieve the parched land? Mmmmmmm…rain.
God, how I miss it.
Yea, I love rain, whether I’m in it or not. I just hate it when I have to bike and the seat’s all wet…
We haven’t been getting much rain lately… and the last stuff we did was Thursday but it dropped the temp to the negative celcius making me ill again.
I wanna have a nice warm heavy shower with thunder and lightning but it’s too late in the season for that. It’ll just get colder from here on in. And even this summer when we were breaking heat records and it rained the odd time the rain was never warm.
You and me both, Vivalostwages. I had noted in last year’s Old Farmer’s Almanac that Southern California in particular was to have a wet year…
To me, a steady rain falling on lush greenery is serenity itself. 
I’ve even driven–to work, in the afternoon, and to afternoon college classes–in heavy rain. Driving in a downpour doesn’t faze me. It’s getting stranded out in the middle of nowhere on a rainy night–with your car in a ditch–that bothers me…March 15, 1986, up in Topanga Canyon. I was so scared…
We added an aluminum-framed, screened back porch to our townhouse. The sound of rain hitting that porch roof is one of the most pleasant, relaxing sounds I know.
Joining in the gloom about the the southern California drought and hoping the El Nino that’s been developing brings an end to it this winter.
I generally love rain too, except when driving in it at night - something about the reflections of car headlights and other lights in the water can cause me to tense up.
You guys who live where it rains are killing me!
Dear Gods, Please move me to norhtern Washington!
It started raining up here in MD sometime during the night. It’s been off and on, but I kinda like it like that.

Let it rain, sweet Mary Jane,
let it wash your love down all around me,
come inside and put it down,
let it rain.

Yeah, yeah.
We were supposed to have torrential downpours in NYC yesterday and today, been forecast for days…yesterday morning it was scaled back to “rain this evening,” and by evening, “rain late tonight.”
Got up this morning, sure enough, streets are as dry as a bone AGAIN. Today’s forecast is “cloudy this morning, than bright sunshine in the afternoon.”
Guess it’s time to water the f*cking garden AGAIN.
This could almost be my post, our entire house had an aluminum roof for the first 8 years of my life. With the temperature in the 60s you bundle up under your covers and it’s just like being in the womb. Heaven, pure heaven.
Almost is fun is going out mud sliding. Who needs cardboard just have a sturdy pair of shoes on and you sit on your own feet.
Unfortunately I live in one of the few places in the state where it doesn’t rain often. In fact Waikiki would be classified as a desert. Oh how I miss Fern Forest.
That still means we will get no rain till December.
I miss summer rain.
I like em too. So peaceful.
Good reading weather.
Sometimes I’ll strip my 20 month old daughter down and take her flying through the rain in the backyard. Judging by her peals of laughter, she’s a big fan too.
Count me in as a rain lover as well as someone who really doesn’t care much for being out in the sun. Rain actually puts me in a good mood and relaxes me, so I resent the notion that many people have about equating rain with gloominess. The sun is too harsh on my eyes and my skin (I wear glasses that darken in sunlight. which helps, and I’d rather just stay indoors than slap on some sunscreen) so I like to go outside when it’s raining or at least cloudy. Where I live we don’t get very much rain, and in the summer we hardly ever see it. I envy my relatives who live in Seattle since it always rains at least once whenever I am there visiting.
