Rain 🌧️

I don't mind the sound of rain. It's basically "white noise".

BTW, it's going to be 92 degrees here today. In fact, all week it's over 90. View attachment 1056600

Well the beauty of watching national news is that big orange blob cover a lot of territory...so our Yuma dry 103 is actually doable and we're not alone

Love it!

Currently under tornado watch, pouring rain sideways, gusts of water from every direction so water in my screen porch, palms dipping to the ground, pond behind us filled in minutes, thunder, lightning, whistling .... and I'm getting read to take a nap to all the sounds of nature!

Metal roofs, hitting the leaves on trees by a cabin in the mountains, or oceanfront…those are the best. But yes I love it!

Neutral, never really thought about it until I saw this survey. Loud/violent storms at night with thunder/lightning when sleeping are just annoying, making it harder to sleep, but doesn't really happen that often.

Neutral I guess. A steady, gentle rain, nice. A stormy rain with lots of wind and weather warnings, not so much.

If it's just rain, I like it. It's soothing, and sometimes it cools things off in the summers. But if it's a Cat 5 Skarnado Thunderrain, absolutely not. Scare me to death.

- I want to know what you instinctively feel in your body due to the sound of rain on the roof/windows/etc.

I think it depends on what the roof is made of and how much insulation there is when actually hearing the rain fall.

If there is a well insulated roof where the rain sounds like a pleasant pitter-patter or background white-noise, that is great.

Yet, I've also been in some trucks or trailers where the rain is deafening as it hits the metal roof with nothing to damper the sound. It's like being inside a metal drum.

Living in an apartment now, I miss the sound of rain on the roof. I can only tell it's raining due to hearing how windy it is outside. Especially when the wind gently blows the drops against the windows.

I find all types of weather interesting, if they don’t last very long and if I’m not too cold. There were times when I enjoyed watching a heavy downpour from an open front pouch or from an open garage and I’ve fantasized walking nude in a light warm sun shower. I like clouds, heavy dark angry clouds full of rain, as well as high, wispy, and feathery clouds, white puffy clouds that seem happy, and clear blue sky with a bright yellow sun. Then with the clouds I like Donna and Blitzen (Thunder and Lightning) a bit scary and wind. Snow that comes down in white puffs is pretty, as is the new formed white snow on the ground. Ice on tree branches can be beautiful, glowing from the light behind them and even the mysterious fog, if I’m not driving. I know the science behind weather, but I like to think of it being caused by fairy-like beings or by Gaia. The clouds being the home of Sylphids “Rows and floes of angel hair/ And ice cream castles in the air/ And feathered canyons everywhere” or Daughters of the Sky. I live on a large lake that looks like an ocean with powerful waves, and I imagine there are kind undines or mermaids beneath the water except when the water gets too rough. The night can be enjoyable, with the stars and moon above or when I am driving in the dark imagining being in an underground city. Once I got up at 2 in the morning and walked around my dark neighborhood just for the fun of it. Then there are butterflies in the summer, the falling leaves in the Fall. “There Is Almost Nothing That Has Such A Keen Sense Of Fun As A Fallen Leaf” of cause the snow fairies in the Winter and the Daisies in the Spring. I’ve never been in a hurricane or tornado or any kind of dangerous weather so I probably would not like that.

As long as I'm not out in it! I actually love the sound of rain and even thunder storms outside
