During last night it has been raining continusly and it sill does so this morning. It's so relaxing that I love the sound of the rain. It seems that the mind flys away and start to dream. Has the sound of the rain any influence about your mood?

You are very lucky to still enjoy the sounds of your rainfall.You still have very sound sleep and cold weather condition,unlike us here in the Philippines.We are always having rainfalls not because it is the wet season but because there are weather disturbances.The monsoon rains are always our problem because it brings us flash floods more than man could ever pass through.The sound of the rain here is the sound of disaster because it could pour for days and nights without stopping.Now the rains stop yet there are still some more places still submerge by the flooding.

You are correct there friend.The government do all things just to solve the problems of our flash floods,but due to some hard headed people who just do their obligations when the big floods are there,so what else they can do was to ask help again from the authorities,yet they are all helpless to the high floods in their areas.They are now given help yet other are not given the exact help because they are already drowned and was lost in the way.It is very hard to help people who are very hard to convinced just to evacuate their places.

Inbetween the potiticians are always several selfish persons unable to find a general solution when needed.

When we ignore those pleasures, then because we are to busy with other things like our work for example. We live in a very stressfull world where we are exposed to a pression that we always have to work, to run from one place to another one that we don't take any time to stop and to have a look around. Maybe this could be the problem that we forget what we really like. What do you think about it?

What I love is the sound of rain against a tin roof, it's so beautiful and peaceful sounding. I do love the sound of rain but it rarely rains hard enough here to make a sound against the roof loud enough for me to hear it over the sounds of the house. Since I don't live alone I can't make people turn down or off the t.v. just so I enjoy the rain, so sometimes I go to the quiestest spot (the bathroom) to enjoy.

You are right, the sound is very beatifull and peacefull, and natural too. I couldn't enjoy the sound during several years, as it didn't rain very often in the place where I lived before. As I moved recently, here where I live now it's raining very often.

It is quite funny how weather works as sometimes you needn't move very far to have such a drastic change in weather. About 20 minutes away from here, storms were loud, tornadoes even more frightening, and snow could keep you in the house for a week.

It must be quite interesting to have so many different types of clima near. I suppose that you also count with variety of flora and fauna around?

When I was younger it used to make me feel nice. Now I prefer sunshine.

Of course, sunshine allows you to realize activities you cannot do during rainy days.

Yes i like raining sound to put me into sleep. Even sometimes i turn on my ipad with raining, or rainforest, sea waves sound etc. I suggested this to a male friend who experienced insomnia. I said put a raining or sea sounds. He said "this will make him feel like going to toilet. Lol he is funny.

That's another typical reaction. Some people use also the raining or sea sound of the waves for babies to keep them relaxed, it's a good therapy to calm down. I also experienced the other side, when the weather gets to hot, it seems like people turn agressive. So I rather prefer the rain. Do you have similar experience?

Yes i can relate to you especially hot weather in traffic jam. My favourite activity during rainy days is at home reading novels lying on my bed.

Yeah dear it is so very true that outer environment is directly linked to our moods, now whether its about rain, sunny day or snowfall they all affect our daily routine and moods directly or indirectly, as you must head that animals migrate sesonally and they hibernate in winters and some astivate in summers this is beacuse climate affects their moods and body, in humans climate has both positive and negative effects some people get elevated whe its raining outside they get positive vibes whereas the other gets totally negative vibes it depends

That's right, we don't react on the same way to the wheather, but it definitly has got an influence to our mood. Thanks for your response.

Personally I love the sound of rain and actually enjoy the smell of it as well. I miss the thunder and rain storms that I used to experience when I lived in Illinois. I actually enjoy sitting on my bed relaxing and listening to the rain as it often helps put me to sleep as well.

That's righ, sound of the rain is very relaxing for our mood and afterwards rests a nice fresh smell in the air. I also love it. Thanks for your post.

hi, i feel calm and relax if i heard the sounds of the rain fall,and the first influence of this rain to me is making me more lazy and craving for some foods that i wanted to eat,because of the climate is cold it makes me lazy and i usually lay down in my bed,that is the influence of the rain to me at home.

I do feel so relaxing and sleep so tight during rainy seasons. But, I have a friend who used to cry to when it rains, claiming she remembered her previous relationships.

It's a pity when the passed overcomes someone like your friend. Hopefully, she will be able to break with the retrospection so she may start to enjoy the present again.
