Hi Mylotters!!! I love enjoying the rains sitting at home,reading books and listening to music..I love looking out of windows when it rains. I love this view. I dislike raining when I am on my way to home or on the way to work, as that is so inconvenient.My clothes do gets wet or spoiled...I feel very uncomfortable to sit with wet clothes. It also takes a long time to reach my office or some other place where I am going because of the terrible traffic condition. But I must go to my office,its a compulsion... But I prefer canceling any other plans,like going shopping or going on a stroll, when it rains.. So,what about you all????????? Do you prefer going out in rains?? Or you prefer canceling all outdoor plans and prefer sitting at home??? Please share your views.

Hi tuyakiki I too enjoy sitting at home when it rains, reading and watching TV, but what I enjoy the most, is to be cozily in bed with the covers pulled up close to me, listening to the pitter-patter of the rain on my roof! :) For as long as I can remember, nothing has been able to calm me down as much as that feeling. I also dislike going out when it rains or directly after it rains, as I abhor muddy conditions, and also dislike wearing wet clothing period! ESPECIALLY IF ITS WINDY!! :)

I guess i'm somewhat like you. Rains are very nice, when you are safe and warm. I love having a cup of coffee and a good romantic novel to read during rain. OR just sit on the sofa and watch the rain. the sound is soothing. It calming. I even put out a hand and catch rain drops. I especially like sticking my head out of the window and watch the rain drops fall.

Hi!!I love the showers of rain,the smell of dry,drenched soil when the rain drops fall on it.You know something,at this point of time,its raining heavily over here.I enjoy the showers with a hot cup of some strong coffee or hot chocolate.Most of the times,it gets really messy,owing to the continuous downpour,but still,there is more enjoyment and fun playing with the raindrops and I do go out for the college or shopping in rain.Its fun to me.

It's nice to stay at home in rainy days.The rain makes me sleep more comfortable as the air is much more fresh.I prefer to cancel all outdoor plans and just stay at home for a good sleep at rainy days.But when I have to go to work at rainy days,I hate the rain!!!All things become inconvenience.In order to keep my cloth dry, I have to take a taxi to my office. It cost me lots of money.One of the worst thing in rainy season is that all of my clothes cannot dry up even I have hang them out for several days!

Well I do love the rain when I have no work. Its so nice just to stay at home and enjoy the coolness of the rain. There are even times that I go out and play in the rain with my 6 year old son. But when I have work, then I have to go out and report.. that is when I dislike the rain since its really a hassle.

same as you I enjoy the rain. I just stay at home and sleep for the entire day. It is very relaxing because its cold. I hate going out when its raining because I don't like to get wet and to get dirty. Honestly, I don't know how to walk when its raining. When I got home my pants was really dirty and also my feet so I just stay at home if possible when its raining. But of course most of the time I need to handle with the rains especially during weekdays since I need to go to work. If ever I have plans going out with my friends, it really depends. If its really necessary and urgent then I will go but if its just for hanging out or fun then I'll just cancel it and change plan like they just go in my house and we will just watch dvd's.

Ummmm... Rains have been a welcome change from the scorching heat which seemed never ending. I prefer to stay indoors when it rains heavily the memories of 26/07 is still afresh. But if we friends meet on a rainy afternoon we either go and play football in a nearby park, or we go out for a long drive in the hills of Lonavala or simply get ourselves drenched by watching the sea. I love the rainy season, sans the flies and the stale smell of clothes, the wetty feelings but I think it still is fun and ofcourse a lot better than summer. Bodhi

I love the rain too but that doesn't mean that I don't like sunny days, the poster of the question has made it clear that he doesn't like the sunny weather, that could be because of some emotional reason, emotions influence our likes and dislikes,sometimes when we are sad we eat a lot and in happy times we hardly feel hungry, when I'm sad I personally don't like the rain it makes me feel even more sad but when happy I love the rain, so it actually depends on what you are going through emotionally right now.

Hi tuyakiki, Hey there. I also do so love being able to enjoy the rains while I am at home. Sometimes the pleasant sound of it on my roof and windows is a soothing thing to hear. The "smell" of rain is also refreshing. *smile* Watching the rain fall seems to offer a "cleansing of sort" to one's senses. At times, the rainy season is quite peaceful, calming and soothing... yet other times, it can cause great restlessness within our spirits because rain and storms can also do such terrible damage and cause much harm. Especially where I am located, unsure as to your locale at present. (I'm in USA - Ohio state and you are where in this big world?) However, I am just like you, and SO very much hate to go out in the rain and get my clothes all wet, or that icky feeling one gets, after having been splashed upon by a passing car. Oh, BIG yuck! Mainly because I walk to run all of my errands and do most of my travels. And while an occasional walk in a "light" rain might be truly refreshing... having to walk in a BIG downpour just really sucks! *smile*... firefox333

I guess it all depends. In my view, rainy days are a good time to have movie maratons at home with your family or friends. It's also the best time to be finishing a very interesting novel. Currently it is the rainy season here in my hometown and since I came here for a vacation it's kind of frustrating because i would have love to visit places right now but due to the rain we're usually stuck at home. Also we are currently having a hard time washing and drying clothes as we do not have any clothes dryer here. That's just my point of view ..

I hate rains... I really do, I don't liek to go out when it rains at all. When it rains, it really makes me blue and little upset because I like sunny days, rainny days make me unhappy. If I plan on doing something and it rains, I would get really unhappy, might cancel the plans depending on what the plans are and how big the rain is.

I don't like going out in the rain at all! I hate it when I'm outside and it rains. I usually cancel all my outdoor plans when it's raining, but not when the thing that I planned is something really important or something that I love so much. In my country right now it's the rainy season, so it rains almost every day. It's so inconvenient when it rains when I'm on my way to work or when I'm on my way home. My feet always get wet from floods caused by the rain, and I'm afraid that I might catch a disease because of this.

I enjoy it rains in spring, especially when it drizzles. At that time, I like to go out to enjoy in the rain, that really bring me a lot of happiness. And in summer, when it rains heavily, I love to stay still at home and listen to the sound of raining, or have a good rest. But I do not like to go out when it rains, it will cause a lot of trouble.
