Don't mind it. Doesn't really affect me. I do, however, love the smell of the air AFTER a thunderstorm. Its so fresh and brilliant.

I love rain, especially thunderstorms. Occasionally, there will be the thunderstorms which knock out power, they suck.
I like rain because it is soothing, but when it is the kind of light sprinkling that doesn't even warrant me getting a jacket for the day, then that is the kind that is annoying.
I prefer snow, but rain is pretty cool too :)

I love rain. I even take my dog for walks in it. It makes for nice peaceful walks because hardly anyone else is around in it.

Only time I don't like rain? When you have to go to work in it.

I love it with lightning.

I like it when Im walking in it with an umbrella or at home looking outside, its calming.

I love rain. It is my favorite type of weather. It is somehow relaxing and energizing at the same time. And sitting there, watching the intermittent lightning strikes between the cloud is just hypnotizing.

And if it isn't raining where you are, you can go here for all your rain-sound-effect related needs!

I quite enjoy rain, particularly when it's accompanied by lightning. Watching the interplay of light and sheets of water over the Rocky Mountains (I live near the Continental Divide) is one of my favorite parts of spring and fall.

All that being said, snow is the superior form of acclimate weather. Rain can never match the beauty of a moonlit landscape covered by virgin snow.

Just my two cents

I very much like it. It's quite relaxing, The only time I don't like it is when I have to be out all the day I get caught out in it when travelling.

I absolutely love severe weather, especially since where I'm from we don't get snow so we get nice downpours, thunderstorms are few and far between and when they come they're rather lackluster, but the sound of rain on the roof and windows while laying in bed or next to the fire place is a feeling that no summer beach vacation can ever compare to, at least to me.

Rain is basically the Two-Face of nature.

It's fantastic on a lazy Sunday morning, hearing the rain patter against the window while you're still in bed all comfy and warm, fantastic. Or when it's a cold, rainy autumn night and you're sitting there with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book or something. And big-ass downpours with epic winds and hail and thunder are wondrous to behold, especially after a hot and sticky summer's day.

However...

When you have to work in the rain wearing nothing but a thin dress-shirt, or when you have to bike for 15 minutes and desperately try to keep an important portfolio dry, then rain is my worst fucking nemesis.

If it's been real hot and humid for a while I love it raining. Although not such a big fan when it's coupled with thunder, lightning or high winds.

Depends on the type of rain. If its big heavy drops coming down in sheets (preferably with Thunder and Lightning) then I love it. Doubly so when I'm indoors looking out. If its the sort of drizzle/light rain that takes ages to get you fully soaked then it can get lossed (I think I've spelt that wrong) as it just makes me itchy and uncomfortable.

When I see rain I usually think: "Ah well, at least its not SNOW!"

Rain in and of itself is ok I guess...but where I live it rains quite a lot...depressing in the long run :\

I like rain during summer when it's warm, but cold autumn and spring rain suck.

Is rain calming? Yes, when I'm at home and I can watch it. But I HATE rain when my touch football coach (don't look at me like that I chose intramurals this season) doesn't just let us go home early when it's raining sideways and my team doesn't even have a coach! And then he gives both teams losses!

As an Aussie, I think I'm obligated to enjoy the smell of an oncoming rain cloud. Personally, I just love going to sleep and waking up to rain falling on my roof, it puts me to bed like warm milk.

Rain to me is...a double edged blade. When I was in a relationship with a girl overseas, I started to believe that when it rained here, she was happy, and she told me that when she's sad, it normally rains there. Sure, it's put down to coincidence, but rain was one of the very few things we could experience together. Now, when it rains, it can either bring a little smile to my face or tear at my heart...considering we broke up about a week ago, it's more or a tearing sensation, I can't stand it when it rains now.

Because then I think it's because she's happy without me.
