It's raining hard right now in Antipolo and I just love it! A lot of irksome things happened to me today, but they have all been washed away by the rain. I love everything about the rain. The sound of rain, the smell of rain, the feeling of raindrops on my skin. I love it so. My mood greatly improves when it's raining especially during night time! How about you do you like the rain or rainy nights?

Even I love rains. Especially at nigh time. Some time the clouds may not be there and plain mountain side and if luck, late night moon also available rarely. Such experience may be hardly happens. Still a night with moon light and slight rain fall make the mind so exaggerated. Thinking of a night rain is soothing the mind especially 40 degree C hot out side. Regards, Thank-s

It is something unbelievable!! It was around 11:00 pm when I was writing to you about the rains. In fact, I just enjoyed the memories of the rains in the past. I slept by thinking of those days of rains. Today morning when I got up, I could not believe. It rained in the night!!! What a coincidence. My daughter said that see, daddy, we wrote about the rains and now it is rained. Is it a telepathy? between us and God? May be the power of your pray also. Whatever it is, just unbelievable and feel so great. Regards, Thank-s

40 degrees? that's soooo hot! That is probably why you're welcoming the idea of rain so much! Good luck! I hope you have rain soon!

I sleep better when it is raining outside, I don't know why, but maybe it is a calming affect of listening to the water drops fall on the window or the roof, it can be cold also which is not my favorite part of rainy nights. nothing plenty of blankets won't cure. Now if one is going out for a night on the town, rainy nights may not be such a welcome experience, due to the wet hair, clothes, shoes etc. I usually like to have a very large umbrella that at least 3 people can stand under, this way I know that I won't get wet. (laugh out loud)

Thanks God that it is raining here because it is very hot last few days. It is good news for all of us because our consumption of electricity going to go down also. I hate summer because I always have prickly heat. I love watching also the rain and I love the cold weather during rainy days.

I used to love rainy nights. Now that disasters have been happening, I get nervous when it rains at night. We don't see what's coming during the night. Either we fear that flash floods may come and wash away houses while we are sleeping or that lahar may flow and bury houses. It is really scary.

It's sad to know that, I guess I kinda share the trauma you have because of Ondoy. The good thing was my dad designed our house well that there were lots of areas where the water could flow before it reached our rooms. We were all shocked that when we woke up the water was so high. I hope we never experience those again.

It was also raining had last night here in my place. I also liked it because it was able to dispel the heat that we've all been suffering these past few weeks. I just became concerned when the rain did not stop after three hours and its not your normal rain. It was like when you have a storm or something. I went out to check on my cats and sure enough, they were drenched and soaking wet! I had to dry them out, lest they catch a cold. But if its a light rain, I don't mind. As long as its not a torrential downpour.

I love rainy nights. It's very wonderful to sleep on rainy nights. And actually, I love the rain, really. Especially now, that every raindrop is a blessing in the heavens. I have also good memories with rain. Just love everything about the rain, although, sometimes the rain is not timely that it may cause some problems.

yes, i like it very much.i live in Delhi,the capital of India and here temperature reach above 40 degree centigrade.and when it rains at nights it gives such a pleasant feeling and a relief from the scorching heat.at the same time i believe there is a very nice smell when it rains.also when you look outside your house everything seems so beautiful.though i love to play in the rain but my parents never allow me to as they are worried that i may catch cold.but who wants to miss the opportunity to enjoy in the rain as in my part of the world rains are rare coming by.

I feel you! My parents wont let me play in the rain too, especially when I'm tired. I have a weak immune system :( Wow! It's really hot in India, I haven't experienced a temp more than 35 degrees Centigrade, and here I am complaining about the heat every time I feel hot.

I love rainy nights. The sound of rainfall really helps me fall asleep. It's just so soothing. I love warm rain... it's nice to just stand outside and feel it fall on my skin.

Hii knicnax Yes i do like rainy night if it comes after tolerating 40 degree temperature for some days and if it doesnt cause any power cuts.Yesterday only we had nice rain in the night and i loved it but i hated it when there was a power cut and i wasnt able to do my work.

why was there a power-cut? were the winds too strong or is it one of those rotating black-outs?

It's true. it has the same effect on most of us! It's a really great way to relax. especially if you'll have a massage while it rains! It's so relaxing

I'm also from the Philippines eventhough I was not born there, but I do know the rough times when it does rain there. My family and relatives are from Bicol Camarines Sur. The times when it did rain there were at times heavy, windy and having to struggle in the times when there were floods. It's also problematic when brownouts occur with no power or electricity while the weather is extremely hot and humid. I remember the times having to deal with the typhoons especially the time when Bagyo Reming hit Bicol pretty hard. All I can say it is just best for people to stay at home, lock your doors and keep safe when those rough rains happen. Living in California, I'm not much of a rain person. I love being outside when the sun is out, like to go to the gym to workout while it's hot. The times it does rain, it does get a bit boring when there's nothing to do. I tend to just rest, relax or just watch a bit of TV.

Hmm, I'm more of a laid back person so I guess I enjoy lazing around the house than you. Bicol is one of the places that get heavy rains. I think it's related to Bicol's geographical location.

I love to curl up with a hot drink when it is cold and rainy in the evening. I like rain when I am inside, not so much when outside!

I like it when it rains at night. The drops of rain on the roof is music to my ears. I love hearing the rain as it hits the roof of my house. In my hometown, we always have rain there and the weather is really cool. I just love it when it rains at night. I easily fall asleep when that happens. Sadly it happens very seldom here in the city.

I love rainy nights. I love rain in general. Recently, when the weather was not too cold, my boyfriend and I kept the front door open in the evening as the sun was going down, so we could watch and listen to the rain. It was calming. The rain seems to wash a lot of my worries away. I love to just sit there and watch it and listen to it. And the smell... Yes I like the smell too I think.
