The worst type of rain is in humid climates bellow the mosquito line, not during but after it stops. You get Malaria, Dengue fever, etc.

I went running in the rain yesterday. I walk/jogged/ran for two miles then had a salad for dinner. I would rather jog in the rain than the boiling sun. Oooo I love the way rain makes everything smell after a month of 100 + fahrenheit temperatures! Nothing smells more patchouli than that not even patchouli.

I love the rain, too. I love listening to it and I could stare up at the sky for hours, watching clouds roll in on a storm, lightning, and all that. I love to watch the snow. I'm fascinated by weather anyway, but especially the bad types. Out here, there is no weather, only smog and sun, and I'm tired of it. I miss the rain.

^^ that sux for you. Smog, yay!! ! LOL. I love the rain except when driving. Whenever there is a big thunderstorm and it starts pouring i run (never know how long the heavy stuff will last) outside with my pack of cigs and just stand outside smoking and watching the rain monsoon down. I love the sound, the sight, the cooling effect.

Its sorta interesting actually. I have one uncle who whenever i see him (about twice a year) he always reminds me of how when i was a child and it was raining i would go to the window and stare and say (in Gujarati) "Rain is falling, rain is falling." So yeah i guess i've always had a fascination with the rain

i dont like cold rain, which all rain usually is unless you're in an okinawa typhoon, then the waters really warm and nice but you really shouldnt be outside or youll be impaled or otherwise injured by flying debris... i like really really warm water - hot water if you will. my baths are always so hot that i can see the steam rising :3 but i cant stand cold, lukewarm, or barely warm water

I like rain too- watching an intense rainstorm from indoors is very satisfying. Being outside spoils the experience by getting wet though.

hey, since so many people love rain, noting i only just thought of this. since i moved house its become a bit more complicated... i could sit out in the rain for hours on end in my old house... it was a detached with fences either side. yay for privacy. now i live in a terrace house with medium sized hedges (Easy to see over) either side in the front yard (concidered the main yard for the following reason) and the back is a shared garden. not very fun -_-, anywho. i feel like i can't stay out in the rain for very long when i go out to my front yard for fear of someone seeing me and judging me as strange... i really dont like that feeling. but i love the rain. any advice/ideas? btw, its a rented house, fencing isn't really an option... god i loved living in a detached non-rented house)

I'm in-between extreme like and dislike of water.

I don't mind getting soaked. I don't get cold. And I don't mind being all-wet.

I cannot be partly be in contact with water however. Drizzling is a sensory nightmare.

I hate all the panicking bustle when it starts raining, because the emotional behaviour confuses me as I cannot foresee it. And I cannot see and hear or touch through rain, so I'm doubly disadvantaged.

If it's bucketing down in the middle of the city where there are thousands of people, I don't like it.
If it is bucketing on the countryside where there is no house and no person in sight, I totally adore it.

I like it best to be alone when I enjoy something like rain.

Other people's views only get in my way.

During holidays as a young kid, I was hiking through the countryside in the hottest summer with family. There were only cows and countless gates that had to be opened and closed on our way. Suddenly, it started to rain so badly, it took only a minute or so until all our clothes were soaked completely. Even the shoes.

It was awesome.

I love the rain in the summer. Not all the time, obviously. Just when it's been really hot and sultry. And then there's a refreshing shower. Lovely.

I especially like electrical storms. They're fantastic to look at.

And I love the smell of damp earth.

Question to OP: Do you love rain, or do you in fact hate sun?

Sun light increases dopamine. Asperger people often have high amount of dopamine (opposite to ADHD people who have low amounts of dopamine).
It makes perfectly sense to avoid sun and love rain, if your dopamine levels are already high.

Lol ;)


[Assuming you have Asperger]: Do you experience any "increase" in any of your Asperger symptoms when you are forced to be in bright sunlight? And if so, which symptoms?

Me personally, I feel stressed in sunlight, and calm and focused when it rains. I don't have to BE in the rain though, it's enough to know/hear that it rains outside. ;)
