Whenever I am going to the office, I always wish for a fair weather. I don’t like it to rain, because it would wet my sandals or my stockings and shoes. But now that I am on vacation, I like it to be raining always. Though, not so hard so it won’t flood outside. I specially like it to rain after lunch, because I would have my nap. Zzz! And also at night, when we are about to sleep.

I love the rain especially when I was young where I can play and run under the rain especially if there is no thunder and lightning. I love to drink hot chocolate or coffee when raining and sitting near to the windows watching and listening to the drops of the rains. Rainy season is coming in my country for sure floods too due to improper water drainage and garbage. And since rainy season is coming all of our things might get wet,well I think I need to prepared my slippers, umbrella and clothes so that I change to prevent from getting sick.

Yes, my friend, childhood memories of running with my siblings on our lawn while it is raining is something worth remembering. I am glad we share the same memories. While a mild rain is welcomed, the moment it becomes torrential and causes a flood, would make one curse it. Indeed, now that rainy season is starting, we should be ready with our rubber slippers, umbrellas , blazers and rain coats. They help us prevent ourselves from being wet in the rain as we go outside.

I hate big big raining..because my house will be full of water after that..and grrr i have to clean it all. And for sure, going to work place under raining, it is really terrible also.... With small raining, it is nice, i just stay at home too and listening music or take a nap...wow, it is very nice time for relaxing...

Yes, my friends torrential rains can really reign havoc into our abodes specially when the floods would also get into our houses. Unluckily too, the rain would flood our rugged road going out the highway whenever it rains. Even if it's just not that hard it will indeed form some puddles. So it's only good to be raining, when we will just be staying home.

I actually love rain and would love it if it keeps raining all the time. But at times, actually the same as you wish, that whenever I go out, it shouldn't rain. For instance, when I go to school, I would find it better if it doesn't rain and doesn't wet my uniform and bag! If that happens, it will surely be a huge mess for me. But at other times, when I am free of work and I am bored, I would love to go out and get myself wet in the rain. Though, till now I didn't do that because I didn't get a chance. I mean whenever it rains, my mom says me not to go out because if I do, I'll catch cold and cough! But I really hope that I do get a chance of getting wet in the rain, just a little at least! :D

Lucky you! :) My sisters do not like getting wet in the rain. They find it very annoying because when it rains, it creates a huge mess outside and everything gets wet! They actually don't like getting themselves all dirty. Lol! And eating porridge in chocolate flavor, Yummy!!! :D

Yes, we call that porridge as champorado. Nice to eat it paired with "tuyo" (dried salted fish) Well i think your place gets muddy when it rains. And that's what i hate too outside, when it is raining.

Yes, it's indeed nice to be raining when we are just at home. But when we will be going out i don't want it to rain. But i am happy to note that my parents never ever told us that we will catch cough and colds. We were always allowed to run at our lawn and take a bath in the rain, when me and my siblings were just kids. Though when there is thunder and lightning, it's a big NO to go out and play in the rain. Instead, we were made to eat champorado (Porridge in chocolate flavor) after we have slept during the rain. But now that i am older, when it rains and i am at home, it means a nice time to truly relax.

The weather is hot here and raining will be the time that I have always waiting these days lately. Raining at noon is great but I like more when it's raining at night, it will really give me a deep sleep as it really cold that time~(^^)(^^)
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Correct. The rain in the evening will make us sleep fitfully. The sound of the rain falling will lull as to sleep and the freshness it brings to the surrounding also freshens us thus make us more so sleepy.

Small wonder some say that people's feelings change with the circumstances.I now have the same thought as you,because I have been retired.It happens that the rain comes down in buckets when I type this.Here ,I worry about nothing.If it were in the past,I would complain what wretched weather!

Hi simplyD, Love the rain too on evenings as we can be assured that we will have a good night sleep. Yeah it sucks to go to work if it's raining. I usually get all those dirty mud sticking on my pants. I am not really good at walking carefully and keeping the back of my pants clean. Even going to a wet market would mess up my pants.

Hey enelym (see i remembered your name now, ). Yes, the rain is so welcome specially at night as we are about to sleep. The pattering of the rain in our roofs, makes our ZZZs voluminous and even make us snore ( i am guilty and so is my husband) I am glad that it rained yesterday and will be tonight before we sleep, because the sky has already darkened a bit again.

I am not a big fan of rain. I do not like to be anywhere but at home when it comes down. It can be dangerous while I am on the road, and it is a major reason for changing plans. I can appreciate it on vacation. Some places like islands have a lot of rain. When I went to the Caribbean, it rained daily. After the rain, I would go for my morning swim. It was like a comfortable routine. I would wake up, see it raining outside my window, wait for the sun to come out, then go swimming.

Swimming in the rain sounds like a good idea in warm water.

I have experienced swimming in the beach, while it's raining. The water is a bit lukewarm and it's a very nice experience , my friend. Maybe you can try it.

It's rainy season in our country now, so I am guessing you are loving the feeling of the weather now . I hate going to work when it's raining as well. I actually did went to the office a little wet one time because the rain was so hard and flood was starting to rise outside our subdivision. But, the good thing is, it feels so nice to sleep at night with the cold weather. And I sometimes even over sleep and wake up too late
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yes, that is what is best when it is raining at night, gaiza. It makes one fall into very deep slumber. Just have your alarm set for the morning, lest you will be so late for work. I have experienced having to walk in the flood, when i braved the rain to report to the office, not knowing that the place where i have to get a tricyle is already flooded.

I prefer it to be only raining seldom, just when we need it to rain, perhaps once a week, if that. Of course, as it turns out, it is rather strange where it rains when it doesn't really need to but when we do need the rain, with the grass getting burned up and dried, it is time for the rain to come down. But for some reason, it does not really appear. That is just really the thing about weather, it never does what we want to do it a lot of the time. It was sure teasing the much needed rain that we do need now, after the hottest temps of the year so far. Of course, I do prefer it to happen in the evening, because rain is really something that stalls my productivity right during the day. But now we really do kind of need it.

Well, yes i guess most people would want it to rain, in the evening when they are all at home and is about to sleep. Makes the bed so inviting !

Yes, i totally have the same feeling..Although it would be nice if it was only rain. It has been thundering so loud these past few days.. i can't even watch tv or turn on the computer. maybe it is because the summer and rainy season is clashing.

Yes, thunder and lightning sometimes accompany the rain. When that happens we cannot use the TV or the computer. But we can always bond with our parents , like share stories with them.

Last week I graduated from the university and now I am free all the time but the weather is awful and I almost do not go out. It is raining all the time and I am pregnant and am afraid of catching a cold. No matter how much money I give for shoes they are never strong enough so that my feet stay dry. This is why I prefer to stat at home during this rainy weather.

Yes, my friend just be at home whenever it's raining. It's slippery when the road is wet with the rain so stay put at home and prevent yourself from slips specially now that you are in the delicate stage of a woman.

I completely agree with you. It is nice to be at home when it's raining. It's raining this morning and after yesterday's really hot day I'm hoping that it will cool down. That is great that you are on vacation. I hope that you are having a good time. Did you go with family or by yourself? It is a great time to take a nap as well when it's raining.

Actually dominique, i am on a 2 months paid leave because i had an operation on my gynecological problem since i was operated on, last May 3. I had to have my Cardio-Pulmonary clearance before that since 40 and above people are required for that before an operation, so i was on leave since May 2. Now i am recuperating and having my stitches heal. So, i am just enjoying my vacation now, savoring the feeling of just being at home, while it rains.

I also like to take a nap or sometimes I just lie down on the couch and read a book when it is raining outside. I like to have a sunny day too for going to work as I don't want to get all wet and arrive at work like that...

I think everybody hates it, when we are in our office wear and suddenly it rains. Sometimes, i feel like taking a leave of absence to just stay home. Well, i guess rain is just nice when you are just staying home.

I know to a lot of people, rain means 'gloomy' and depressing, but for me it is just the opposite ! My spirits are lifted and I feel bright and happy, and fresh minded, and relaxed! I love for it to rain, but sadly I live in the part of Texas, that is dry and very little rain! When it is raining,(or even snowing), I get a lot of things done because I feel active and productive! Getting wet doesn't even bother me, it just gives me more energy!

When it is raining and i have to report to work, it makes me depressed. I find it hard to walk in the rain and get a public transport, that's why. But when you are just at home, i feel happy when it rains because the house becomes a sanctuary and a very cozy place. The bed specially is so inviting.

I love being able to sit at home and look out of the window when it is raining, as it means that we can know that we're nice and warm in the house while other people have to be the ones who go outside and have to get wet in the rain. However, it is not quite so nice if you know that you are having to out for some reason. For example, I knew that I had to go shopping at the weekend, but it rained a lot, and this meant that I got wet. For once, it would seem as though I was the one who people were laughing at from their windows instead of it being the other way around like it has always been in the past.
@SIMPLYD (90722)
• Philippines
29 May 12
Yes, that's true gemma. I would have to postpone my going out, if it can be postponed for another day, if it suddenly rains. I don't want to be wet specially on the feet. Though, walking in the rain with your boyfriend would be sweet.

Oh, I always love when it rains. This afternoon, my daughter noticed all the red spots on my arms and ask if it is itchy. I said no. Yah,this is my problem during summer and hot days- I got rashes almost all over my body. It's not itchy, but too bad to look at (duh) This year we're not able to spend our vacation back to my hometown. Every summer, I had to escape the humid weather here in the city and have a better weather summer vacation in Baguio City. I just hope it would rain here soon......

Perhaps those rashes are just prickly heat, jaiho. Yes, a rain will be so welcome in the midst of summer. And those rashes will surely go away too. Fissan will do that. And i must say i am happy that it did rain yesterday while i am at home and it's gloomy today too, with the rain near to drop. It's indeed so nice to be just at home when it's raining. And i hope it rains again in a while.

I also like when it rains, for as long as i am home, it is hard to be commuting while raining hard with flooded streets. But if it rains at night time it so nice to sleep as if i don't want to get up and go to the office. Sometimes, rain makes me sad, rain makes me recall my childhood in the province. I remember, everytime it rain three of us, my brother and my sister just sit and stare outside to wait fort he rain to stop. If it does not stop, we will watch for the flood to rise up and we will go upstairs.

It's just sad though my friend, when it rains so hard and it will flood our surroundings and eventually would bring damage to our property. But a little rain is a welcome treat, specially when we will be just at home.

hey there! how are you? i like okay weather. or semi-sunny with cool breeze weather. I am not fan of rainy weather because of getting wet, drive, etc. Also its generally not safe to drive in the rain. It's good if it rains while we don't need to work or go to school. there should be back up plan, if it rains - do the stuff at home, lol.
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yeah absolutely..Rather than getting wet in the rains and inviting cold for your body, its better to stay indoors and enjoy the rains at home. At the same time you can also enjoy delicious delicacies at home during the rains which is really an awesome feeling.. Also u can take a short nap during the rains..
@SIMPLYD (90722)

Yes my friend, whenever it rains and you are just at home it will really be a welcome treat. The rain will make you eat more even if it's just rice and a dried fish and will make your slumber so fitful.
