There are times I do like it when it rains when things tend to calm down and is feeling cool and peaceful. Sometimes too much sun and humid gets in the way and is irritating. How about you? What do you prefer?

personally, I used to love rainy days in my childhood as they couil close the school for a day or 2, but now with our busy lifes, we often don't like things which could delay us or hinder our way... We generally overlook the beauty of the rain and the rainy day coz we are so much into our busy lifes.

A very candid observation of how the older ones perceive rain. However, we really need them to come once in a while. Rains cools down a hot day and provides the moisture the environment needs.

I always love the rain since I was little. I love the smell of it, the sound of it, and the peacefullness that it brings. When it rains, no one leave the house. It brought the family together. You can play family games or something. But when I was little I used to love to play in the rain with my cousins. The bigger the rain the better. We used to scream and ran outside outside half naked. And if the grown up are there, they used to scare us with "if you scream the ghost will take away your voice." So we shut up. Rain bring back wonderful memories for me. I love the rain.

Sure! I don't like storms so much.. but a nice rain is good, makes everything nice and green, and happy.. I love a peaceful rain, especially if I'm having a day of solitude. But of course a nice pleasant sunny day is the best!

I prefer rainy days all the way!!! When it is rainy it is very calming. And these are also the times that I get my most peaceful sleep. From an insomniacs point of view...the rainy days are a blessing! And the harder the rain, the better. Break out the thunder and lighting and I love it! Open the windows...I don't care if the windowsills get wet...I just want to listen to the rain and be lulled. Even if I do not sleep...the wind will bring in the smell of rain and it is wonderful!!!

I love the winter, cool days and clean roads. i dont like summer one bit and have nothing against the rains except in cities they just make things messy, so winter does it for me, cool, cold, and not dirty

If I have my way, I'd like it to rain every night. Rains are desirable if they fall late at night and ends at the wee hours of the morning. Say, from 11 pm until 3 am. Wets the ground and showers all the plants plus a good, cool morning to wake up to. However, it never works this way always.

I prefer dry days so that I can go outside and get things done. But every now and then, I love a good rainstorm!

I love it when it rains hard if it's on a day when I can stay home. I like sleep, write, or clean on rainy days, depending on the mood i'm in. rain makes me pensive, so it's normally good for writing for me. I especially like rain with thunder or lightening. I like the feeling in the air right before an electrical storm. There's nothing like sitting outside in the country as lightning dances on the hillsides around you. Really beautiful. Probably dangerous, too. Now, I wouldn't want to live in Seattle or anything, but I do like heavy summer rains. You know, the kind where it's warm enough outside to run around in the rain naked and not get pneumonia?
