...these past few days in my city. I cannot control this kind of weather. We need to adjust and deal with it. Regardless, if it rains, I prefer to sleep all day long or have a movie marathon. There is still the beauty of having a rainy season. Although I always feel like I'm pulling my leg if I have to work despite the dreaded weather.
What about you, guys?
Do you like rainy season?

Perhaps there is a typhoon coming from Philippines and therefore it's raining so much in your side and soon it will be my side. I don't think it's a very bad thing alhough it means I won't have outdoor activies in the weekend. At least it shall be cooler a bit.

@Shavkat You know, in Manila, just a few minutes of heavy rain can easily flood one area, prompting the local government to declare a suspension of classes. I heard that in your area, a large boulder of rock just fell on a house, crushing their pet dog and a car parked in front of it.

We don't have a "rainy season" in the US... We get rain all year long or snow and ice in the winter. Right now we've been having storms and rain every day for the last week. This weekend is supposed to be sunny and hot, though. (Hot here means temps in the 90s [32C or a little higher] plus high humidity every day.)
I like opening the curtains in my bedroom at night when we have thunderstorms and watching the lightning flash across the skies.
I can see that parts of the Philippines (San Jose Del Monte Bulacan) is getting more than 1 or 2 inches (25 to50 mm or more) of rain/storms every day this week. (My friend Sam lives there and I keep an eye on his weather. I talked with his parents on Fb a little while ago and they said everything is okay but waterlogged there. No flooding yet.)
I don't like going outside if there is a lot of rain, snow or ice. When I had to work, I had to go no matter what the weather was doing, though.
I usually read or watch YT videos during bad weather.

In lowland areas here, especially the coastal areas, they are still experiencing floods. Most parts of Bulacan in the Philippines are in this state up to this day. I experienced seeing this kind of situation before, and it was not fun at all.

@Shavkat My friends said they're on a hill so are safe from flooding. I hope they aren't just telling me that to keep me from worrying about them.

I can feel your sentiment about it. Even in summer, we still experience random monsoon rains. I prefer to have the cool weather because of this, rather than dealing with the hot season in lowland areas of my country. Although I can deal with it.

During rainy seasons, I prefer to be at home. I just need to go out if it is really needed. Right now, it is still raining, and I do not want to go out. Regardless, I should go out to buy something for the family. It might be troublesome, but I can enjoy walking around and enjoy the fun of having the rains pouring.
Since I do not have the choice.

Rainy season is good especially for farmers. But excessive rains aren't good when they cause floods.

@Shavkat That's right especially when the palay is ready to be harvested. They suffer more losses than profits.
