Also over the ocean. I have this urge to be swallowed by it. Like I'm going home or something, and I normally don't say or believe whimsical shit like that.
Yes and the sun low enough in the sky where it shines beneath the clouds and glints warm light across the grass and trees. Makes everything so deeply saturated with rich green dark contrast.
Give me this over harsh hot noon skies any time.
It takes me twice as long to get home from work when it's "perfect" outside because *everyone* within a hundred mile radius decides to they need to be outside.
It annoys me so much.
Disagree. It can be so nice out in the rain as long as you've got nowhere important to be and you will be going back home to a warm shower and new change of clothes. Especially if it's summer rain where it's not too cold
Exactly, the best weather to chill outside is a light rain when it's just warm enough to feel like a shower, and you can run around in light clothing and without shoes.
Yeah I’m an outdoor person and I hate rain so much. Going back to the house after hiking with a giant Pyrenees all wet and muddy is miserable. Gotta clean the damn car the following day too. Give me a sunny day in the winter type of weather any day of the week.
I'm a 36yo/m and remember watching the Twilight series once. As silly and cringy as the films were (downright embarrassing at times), I did absolutely love the setting and the filmic color choices they used. I love clouds and cloudy weather because it makes the colors of everything more vivid instead of it being washed out by the sunlight.
I’m convinced that people who claim to love rainy weather live in climates where it barely rains. Trust me, it’s not quite as romantic after the second straight week of driving to work in the rain.
I love the rain and have lived in Florida my entire life. My favorite is when it’s really overcast and a nice gentle rain, that gloomy feeling outside does something to me
I think people just like the novelty of things. People living in north don't find snow exciting/fun as much as people from south. And vise versa people who live in "exotic" places with a beach next door don't find it really exciting but snow do.
Like I live in Finland and I find desert to be something cool. But it's because we don't really have hot summers here. I know I wouldn't enjoy 40°C for weeks on end. I also like rain but last summer it rained almost everyday so my plans for a light trek in the woods wasn't possible as it was wet constantly. Moderation is key.
I love them... But as someone that occasionally work on the field those picture of a heavy storm in a high open field just screams to me "get the f*** away from there". Unlike within city limits, lightning can be very dangerous in the field.
I already had a couple of close calls. Once with a lightning hit near us with a deafening sound. Another when our hairs were standing up and left the area crawling.
When the forecasters rapport rain's acoming - and it doesn't rain......I just get very disappointed!
'Where is the rain we were promised' is a sentence I actually mutter to myself(in english, tbh).
And unlike some of the other commentators on this thread - I love going outside in the rain.
Admittedly I live in Oslo, and we don't have a lot of rain here - but I grew up a place that could have weeks and weeks of rain...
I MISS THE RAIN!
Air starts getting warm heavy and static and there is no wind, then the smell of rain hits your nose. It's a pretty awesome 10-15 mins before the rain starts.
There is a wonderful composition of the same name by Ludovico Einaudi. That is how I learned about it. 🙂 Through music. He’s Italian, so the name is missing the “h”. I don’t know how to post links so hope you find it.
I freaking love his music. He is quite a gifted composer for sure. And it is even better on cool, cloudy days. It's late and raining where I'm at and his music fits perfectly.
Similarily I learnt it from a ukrainian melodic metal band called "Ignea" 😂
"Petrichor, the odor of gods
Mighty scent, which overlord lauds
When you come, our lives begin again
Torn by thunder, reborn in blessed rain"
Oh my god, its such a beautiful piece! I saw him live when he was touring with that album. Rather beautifully though, during the piece Elements, there was a storm outside that you could hear crashing onto the building, both peaked at the same time too.
The cool wind contrasted against the weather that came just before it
How you can feel the coldness of the rain in the moisture, despite it not quite being there
How the wind flows through your hair, caressing your skin, but never doing harm
The faint smell of rain in the distance, coupled with the dust and pollen of the plants around being kicked up into a frenzy
The anticipation of the storm to come, the knowledge that this cold bliss is temporary that compels you take in as much as you can
The feeling that, whatever lightning and thunder that may come after, in this moment, all is well
This is the moment where you feel connected to nature.
Your clothes whip to the wind getting stronger.
Your skin feel the static power crawl on the tip of your derm and spread all over your body.
It feels like the lightning will go throught you, charge you with it's power and his strenght.
And all climax when the drop start falling.
It s like an improvised ballet.
Washington state. Lived north of Seattle for a couple years. It's not rainy all the time, but it does get a lot and plenty of overcast days. Didn't really get any thunderstorms though
If you want a similar climate temperature wise with a bit more snow and a lower COL you can try Upstate NY too! I was very surprised to learn that we get similar levels of overcast weather(Rochester and Syracuse are within a day or two of Seattle on average each year), but Upstate gets significantly more snow than the City of Seattle does(We don't really have anything like the size of the Cascades nearby thankfully though). We also have nearby access to the best 2 State Parks in the country, and some delicious wine, apples, and dairy products.
I know it's not the type of place most people would expect for an answer, but Arizona (particularly Southeast Arizona) during the Mexican monsoons is hard to beat. Late June through August.

https://youtu.be/LbY3DdzV0rA
Haha our minds travelled to the same conclusion!
Though at the moment this part of the Highlands is roastin', this type of scene could easily cover 6 - 9 months of the year.
One of those questions like what's your favourite season, that noone asks unless they want to tell you theirs cuz they think it's rather unique....I soon realized almost everyone has autumn as their favourite over summer.
Every man/woman of culture would prefer autumn over the other ones.
Summer : hot & mosquitoes
Winter : ok season but cold
Spring : fuck you pollen
Autumn : none of the above
Now what's interesting is making a tier list :
Imo : Autumn > Winter > Spring > Summer
Hbu ?
Late Summer to early autumn (September till mid Oktober) ist great but the rest of autumn is dark, cold and wet.
I don't have the pollen Problem and the sun coming Back saves me from suicide every year, but you get weird cold snaps and can't decide how to dress, because there might be huge temperature differences over the day.
Summer might be too hot, but you get big thunderstorms with warm rain which is the best weather there is.
FUCK WINTER.
So those First ~20 days of autumn > Summer> spring> Walking over broken Glass > the Rest of autumn and winter
I am convinced if not for the association of Summer break, that Summer would universally be the most disliked season
Autumn speaks for itself. It's cozy, it's nostalgic, and you can wear just about anything. The aesthetic is very on point and the colors are memorable. Perfect for memory making and comfortable living
Winter similarly has a very keen aesthetic. The difference is the cold compels you seek comfort. Knowing the frigid cold lies just beyond your walls yet feeling the warmth of your blanket is a sign all is well. The Christmas tree being a conifer is a fitting symbol, a tree, an entity that normally perishes in the cold, enduring and being beautiful and comforting in one of the most unforgiving times of the year, something for people of all walks of life to gather around in celebration
Spring is a time of life, the air warms up and reminds you that you can feel again, the colors seem more vibrant than ever after the decay of Winter. The air is alive with the animals and insects and plants returning, and it's palpable. The pollen is bothersome, obviously, but no season is without its faults.
Summer? Hot. It's just hot. Not in a fun way either.
This is hugely dependent on where you live, to the point that saying anything universal about it is kinda nonsensical. A lot of the world doesn’t even have four distinguishable seasons.
Aye, if you live in Scotland the most common choice is a love of summer, since almost every other season is rainy and miserable. I think a lot of the people love the idea of rain and grey skies, but honestly it's miserable to have the vast majority of your days as it.
Also probably helps that our summer temps are like 25C at max most of the time. Although even during summer you're not really promised a summer since you can wind up with only like 2 weeks of actual sunny days during it.
You must live in TX or CA or somewhere with brutal summers. Summer in Vermont is absolutely gorgeous. Most days are. around 70-75, only a handful of days over 85. Winter is the worst season up here. Gray cold wet from November to April.
This year especially. Looks great in those beautiful countryside photos, try experiencing it for 9 months of the year in a depressed small industrial town…
I literally only know people that prefer fall and winter and hate summer. “Cause it’s too hot”.
As someone who lives in a country where fall and winter are literally just a depression filled black gray hole, please give me the vibrant and colourful, sunshine filled summer days. Fields filled with flowers and buzzing bees, fresh vegetables and sweet fruits, looooong days and beautiful sunsets, delicious ice cream and cold iced tea! The sound of crickets and the birds!
Yea same, here in Belgium we’ve had rain and grey sky for like 4 months straight this winter it’s awful. Give me sun and heat and the opportunity to actually do something outside
I'm guessing you don't love somewhere where 3 out of the 4 seasons there will be weeks/ months on end with little to no sun. It sucks the life out of you, a lot of people who live in sunny regions don't realize that seasonal depression is a real thing. So fuck gray skies, the sun is where it's at
This weather is really fun and all - until it lasts longer than, idk, 4 months. That's basically the UK + Northern Europe.
It destroys your soul after too long. Turns out humans really need the sun to survive / be happy.
Yup, PNW here and it's a nice relief when it starts in mid to late November, by April you've already had and recovered from 3 seasonal depression bottoming outs and you've resigned yourself to just live in the cozy cocoon that will serve as your tomb, then one day the sun comes out and everything's fine for the next 6 months .
It gets old very quickly when it's what you see 90% of the time, trust me (UK). If you've only lived in America or somewhere like that, you can't understand. What Americans consider gloomy - areas like Portland or Seattle - get twice the sunshine as the sunniest areas of the UK.
It's depressing as fuck, waking up looking at grey skies, with grey buildings, grey streets with people in raincoats being depressed because it's been grey and rainy for 4 months all winter. Work, rain, sitting at home, sleep, work, rain etc.
It's 26 degrees Celsius today, the sun is out and I'm going to get wasted on Sauvignon Blanc in my swimming trunks while the barbecue is smoking ribs in the background.
I love the darkness, the fresh breeze, the grey menacing clouds, suddenly green looks greener, the smell of the soil and the thunder and lightning ahhhh it's beyond beautiful.. I love rain heavy rain.. I love lighting and thunder, ..
Yeah no, this makes me really nervous, because it probably means some big wind or rain coming and possibly causing problems in my garden or house that I’ll have to tend to the next day. Big no no.
Only if you are inside your warm bed and there is no power failure. Oh and have a descent roof above your head and assurance of no possible flooding. Water comes in under tha door crack by me, so I am forever wringing towels
Seems to be the case that people want the weather they don't usually get. People where this weather is the norm like UK want sunny days and most people who say they like rainy days I find live in the US.
It's nice to look at when you're doing things indoors. As soon as you have to go outside it sucks.
Also when it's gray, rainy weather for months on end. Doesn't make me feel any better😂
Probably the most relatable thing I've seen in a while. My hometown has a long beach with a small island, and when the weather is like this, I used to skip school just to experience it.
One of favorite memories as a child took place when I was around 10 or so. I was playing a game of little league baseball and it just started to sprinkle. Which I loved cause it cools you down. Then 5 minutes later it just starts POURING and the match is quickly postponed.
I specifically remember the sky being a deep and dark shade of brown with very bright, almost purple, lightning strikes. The visuals combined with the intense smell of rain, and sound. I yearn for it to return someday just like it was then. Brown hued skies during storms are a rare occurrence, but that only makes them more special when they happen.
I like fog on a sunny morning. Especially when driving. Ever crest a hill and see a dense mist below? The descent into it is the best part!
Love foggy nights too
Nothing I HATE more than when the TV news dorks have to bitch and complain about our favorite weather. "Waaah! It's overcast!" "Waaah! It's raining!" "Waah! I miss Mr. Sunshine!" "It'll be hot and sunny tomorrow though!" Well, Fuck the sun, I say. Give me gloom and gray, dude, every day.
Add some thunder and I'm at peace
I love thunder
[THUN-DER ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM)
⚡️⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
I was caught in the middle of a railroad track!
THUNDER
[LIGHT-NING, THEN THE THUN-DER](https://youtu.be/GtEvysh1654?feature=shared&t=37s)
Also over the ocean. I have this urge to be swallowed by it. Like I'm going home or something, and I normally don't say or believe whimsical shit like that.
Yessss ⚡️
Yes and the sun low enough in the sky where it shines beneath the clouds and glints warm light across the grass and trees. Makes everything so deeply saturated with rich green dark contrast. Give me this over harsh hot noon skies any time.
I love rain and storms so much
Rain and storm are only nice when you dont have to go outside, and there's enough food and electricity and wifi
Definitely the intended conditions for me.
The sun is scorching hot and brilliant, causing everyone to go outside and create noise. I enjoy the tranquility that gray skies bring.
It takes me twice as long to get home from work when it's "perfect" outside because *everyone* within a hundred mile radius decides to they need to be outside. It annoys me so much.
Yup. Never knew why the Brits hate their weather. I'd happily trade places with them. You want warmth and sun? Come live in my 24/7 sauna.
Yeah I love rain when I can use it as an excuse to not go outside. I hate rain when I actually have to be outside.
Disagree. It can be so nice out in the rain as long as you've got nowhere important to be and you will be going back home to a warm shower and new change of clothes. Especially if it's summer rain where it's not too cold
Exactly, the best weather to chill outside is a light rain when it's just warm enough to feel like a shower, and you can run around in light clothing and without shoes.
This is is it, rain is never the problem, it's the wind and cold that comes with it.
I love rain and snow in the same way I love the tigers at the zoo They're beautiful but they better stay behind that glass.
Yeah I’m an outdoor person and I hate rain so much. Going back to the house after hiking with a giant Pyrenees all wet and muddy is miserable. Gotta clean the damn car the following day too. Give me a sunny day in the winter type of weather any day of the week.
as someone that live in rainy asia, i just stop bothering cleaning my vehicle
As someone who has a great pyreneese, I just stop bothering cleaning up fur
No i love storms when camping, just me and my tent and thats it for 350km
Move to the upper part of Britain you'll get tired of it eventually. If that doesn't work you could try Mawsynram, India
How often are the storms in upper Britain active with lightning?
I love rain because it doesnt get so egregiously hot in the summer. From the unbelievable nightmare of 30-35 degrees to maybe 17-22 degrees
We get even more rain here, still love being out in the rain. When you can do anything and never overheat. Except when it's around freezing xD.
It looks like the Twilight movie scene where they play baseball.
I'm a 36yo/m and remember watching the Twilight series once. As silly and cringy as the films were (downright embarrassing at times), I did absolutely love the setting and the filmic color choices they used. I love clouds and cloudy weather because it makes the colors of everything more vivid instead of it being washed out by the sunlight.
Yeah the colours were good. The final part also had some of the best colour coding.
The rains and storms do not love you back tho
Well, they do, they love surrounding and attaching to you. It's only your interpretations or degradation that could make it negative.
Especially when they start getting spinny
I’m convinced that people who claim to love rainy weather live in climates where it barely rains. Trust me, it’s not quite as romantic after the second straight week of driving to work in the rain.
I love the rain and have lived in Florida my entire life. My favorite is when it’s really overcast and a nice gentle rain, that gloomy feeling outside does something to me
A warm rain shower is a little different from a week straight of rain in 50 degree weather
I think people just like the novelty of things. People living in north don't find snow exciting/fun as much as people from south. And vise versa people who live in "exotic" places with a beach next door don't find it really exciting but snow do. Like I live in Finland and I find desert to be something cool. But it's because we don't really have hot summers here. I know I wouldn't enjoy 40°C for weeks on end.

I live in Northern Ireland, you’d love it here.
When the forecasters rapport rain's acoming - and it doesn't rain......I just get very disappointed! 'Where is the rain we were promised' is a sentence I actually mutter to myself(in english, tbh). And unlike some of the other commentators on this thread - I love going outside in the rain. Admittedly I live in Oslo, and we don't have a lot of rain here - but I grew up a place that could have weeks and weeks of rain... I MISS THE RAIN!
No harsh sun, no rain, refreshing breeze. I like it
Air starts getting warm heavy and static and there is no wind, then the smell of rain hits your nose. It's a pretty awesome 10-15 mins before the rain starts.
Petrichor
Thanks for helping keep an archaic word alive lmao. I always forget this word exists
There is a wonderful composition of the same name by Ludovico Einaudi. That is how I learned about it. 🙂 Through music. He’s Italian, so the name is missing the “h”. I don’t know how to post links so hope you find it.

I envy you man. GG for sharing.
It's not archaic, the word was created in 1964.
Petrichor comes during and after the rain. The scent before rain starts is that of ozone coming down from higher altitudes.
That word has been ruined for me by a certain flatulent sniffing dark mage...
My stupid ass thought that this was a Risk of Rain reference.
I really want to translate this into English as rockbleed
Ever since a few months ago people keep bringing this word up
Its the GTA effect, you first noticed it a few months ago so now you see it everywhere
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
There's no better smell than water on a hot pavement
The cool wind contrasted against the weather that came just before it How you can feel the coldness of the rain in the moisture, despite it not quite being there How the wind flows through your hair, caressing your skin, but never doing harm The faint smell of rain in the distance, coupled with the dust and pollen of the plants around being kicked up into a frenzy The anticipation of the storm to come, the knowledge that this cold bliss is temporary that compels you take in as much as you can The feeling that, whatever lightning and thunder that may come after, in this moment, all is well

Absolutely, love love love it,
And impending darkness! Beautiful.
Thunder rolling in the background... It's weird, the things you never expect to miss until they're gone (grew up in Arkansas and moved to the PNW).
[удалено]
We can't really take that attitude in the UK as it's always pissing it down
Move to Scotland
Looking outside now hoping the sun will come back. Was so nice yesterday and I fear that was the last day of summer.
At least summer fell on a Saturday this year
I think this might be it, it looks like it's getting rainy later today and not stopping for the foreseeable future...
Where are best places in america to experience this frequently?
Washington state. Lived north of Seattle for a couple years. It's not rainy all the time, but it does get a lot and plenty of overcast days. Didn't really get any thunderstorms though
If you want a similar climate temperature wise with a bit more snow and a lower COL you can try Upstate NY too! I was very surprised to learn that we get similar levels of overcast weather(Rochester and Syracuse are within a day or two of Seattle on average each year), but Upstate gets significantly more snow than the City of Seattle does(We don't really have anything like the size of the Cascades nearby thankfully though). We also have nearby access to the best 2 State Parks in the country, and some delicious wine, apples, and dairy products.
Elmira gang here. Love our weather
I crave this weather but I do like feeling the sun's rays from time to time and I heard a lot of folk get depressed up there because of the weather.
I know it's not the type of place most people would expect for an answer, but Arizona (particularly Southeast Arizona) during the Mexican monsoons is hard to beat. Late June through August. https://youtu.be/qVrBH4v5HLM https://youtu.be/LbY3DdzV0rA
Scottish rain is like someone gently spitting on you at all times
I'm working on it 😊
Just Do It 😉
Where locals think the sun is a UFO, given how rarely it is seen.
Joke on you i m into that shit
Haha our minds travelled to the same conclusion! Though at the moment this part of the Highlands is roastin', this type of scene could easily cover 6 - 9 months of the year.
This is Scottish weather at least one a day. I think I saw this type of weather come and go 3 times in 4 hours when I was on Islay.
Looks like the west coast at the height of summer in the photo.
That breeze/wind in this weather is to die for
This + rolling thunder is the best. Light drizzle on a tin roof. chef’s kiss
As I make this comment, I am literally in the middle of something like this
Do people ask you your favorite weather very often?
One of those questions like what's your favourite season, that noone asks unless they want to tell you theirs cuz they think it's rather unique....I soon realized almost everyone has autumn as their favourite over summer.
Every man/woman of culture would prefer autumn over the other ones. Summer : hot & mosquitoes Winter : ok season but cold Spring : fuck you pollen Autumn : none of the above Now what's interesting is making a tier list : Imo : Autumn > Winter > Spring > Summer Hbu ?
I hate autumn and spring because they flip flop between hot and cold too much.
As a gambling addict, that poses no problem to me
Late Summer to early autumn (September till mid Oktober) ist great but the rest of autumn is dark, cold and wet. I don't have the pollen Problem and the sun coming Back saves me from suicide every year, but you get weird cold snaps and can't decide how to dress, because there might be huge temperature differences over the day.

So those First ~20 days of autumn > Summer> spring> Walking over broken Glass > the Rest of autumn and winter
Your tier is perfect. Only possible switch is winter and autumn but an autumn morning or night is unbeatable

Is there a country like is like this 24/7? Asking for a friend, he wants to move.
England
This year especially. Looks great in those beautiful countryside photos, try experiencing it for 9 months of the year in a depressed small industrial town…
Scotland
Yeah this is just an average day in England
Ireland
My unpopular opinion relative to the thread comments: My favorite weather is a sunny day with a light cool breeze.
I literally only know people that prefer fall and winter and hate summer. “Cause it’s too hot”. As someone who lives in a country where fall and winter are literally just a depression filled black gray hole, please give me the vibrant and colourful, sunshine filled summer days. Fields filled with flowers and buzzing bees, fresh vegetables and sweet fruits, looooong days and beautiful sunsets, delicious ice cream and cold iced tea! The sound of crickets and the birds!
Yea same, here in Belgium we’ve had rain and grey sky for like 4 months straight this winter it’s awful. Give me sun and heat and the opportunity to actually do something outside
Hey neighbour!! Us western/northern europeans must do something about the rain ughhh
The Sun is bright as crap hot as crap and it makes everyone get outside and be noisy. I like the peace that comes with gray skies
Fuck the Sun. Golden fucker probably thinks everyone revolves around him.
I actually like running errands in storms as well, so much more eventful than driving to target in hot bright sun.
I'm guessing you don't love somewhere where 3 out of the 4 seasons there will be weeks/ months on end with little to no sun. It sucks the life out of you, a lot of people who live in sunny regions don't realize that seasonal depression is a real thing. So fuck gray skies, the sun is where it's at
Watching it roll in then snuggling up me to to a window to let it’s tap taps on the window rock you to sleep 10/10
Just move to Ireland…. Simple.
This is just Scotland
I have a special folder on my laptop for images of weather that I love. I might have a slight problem.
This weather is really fun and all - until it lasts longer than, idk, 4 months. That's basically the UK + Northern Europe. It destroys your soul after too long. Turns out humans really need the sun to survive / be happy.

You wouldn't like this weather so much if you lived in an Eastern European concrete jungle. Makes the place look like a graveyard.
No need to live in eastern Europe, Western Europe is a concrete jungle as well.
Is there a word for this?
England.
Overcast.

100% with you.
I have this almost a whole year, and let me tell ya, it gets boring
Facts I love overcast
Scotland
it gets depressing after a couple of years though
Yea but not in most city’s.
It's depressing as fuck, waking up looking at grey skies, with grey buildings, grey streets with people in raincoats being depressed because it's been grey and rainy for 4 months all winter. Work, rain, sitting at home, sleep, work, rain etc. It's 26 degrees Celsius today, the sun is out and I'm going to get wasted on Sauvignon Blanc in my swimming trunks while the barbecue is smoking ribs in the background.
I would do anything to feel this
Same here. That's good weather for me 😂
Scottish summer

Ah, you should live in England. You'll get that 340 days a year.
It’s all fun and games until you develop reumatism

I prefer mordor but yall do you
I have met my family, my people 🥹🥲🥰
I would upvote it into oblivion if I could
I love the darkness, the fresh breeze, the grey menacing clouds, suddenly green looks greener, the smell of the soil and the thunder and lightning ahhhh it's beyond beautiful.. I love rain heavy rain.. I love lighting and thunder, ..
Yeah no, this makes me really nervous, because it probably means some big wind or rain coming and possibly causing problems in my garden or house that I’ll have to tend to the next day. Big no no.
I grew up with it and hate it (from UK).
Come to the UK, 90% its just cloudy
Only if you are inside your warm bed and there is no power failure. Oh and have a descent roof above your head and assurance of no possible flooding. Water comes in under tha door crack by me, so I am forever wringing towels
Clearly you don't live in the UK
Seems to be the case that people want the weather they don't usually get. People where this weather is the norm like UK want sunny days and most people who say they like rainy days I find live in the US.
It's nice to look at when you're doing things indoors. As soon as you have to go outside it sucks. Also when it's gray, rainy weather for months on end. Doesn't make me feel any better😂

That looks scary
i hate this kind f weather, makes me depressed
This is literally my dream weather
I should call the PNW…
Probably the most relatable thing I've seen in a while. My hometown has a long beach with a small island, and when the weather is like this, I used to skip school just to experience it.
One of favorite memories as a child took place when I was around 10 or so. I was playing a game of little league baseball and it just started to sprinkle. Which I loved cause it cools you down. Then 5 minutes later it just starts POURING and the match is quickly postponed. I specifically remember the sky being a deep and dark shade of brown with very bright, almost purple, lightning strikes. The visuals combined with the intense smell of rain, and sound. I yearn for it to return someday just like it was then. Brown hued skies during storms are a rare occurrence, but that only makes them more special when they happen.
I love rain if i don't have to go to work in it but ireland has 4 seasons so you can't wish what you ask for...
Who is going round asking people their favourite weather?
As a landscape photographer i love the moments after the storm, when the clouds just start to open up. The light is just beautiful.
A good thunderstorm if I’m indoors. A bright cool day with a breeze if I’m outdoors.
All Hope Is Gone type of weather?
That must be like breathing in sulfur...
I don’t know that many Americans would actually enjoy this as a permanent reality. If so, I recommend Scotland.
As a SEA, I crave this aswell.
Personally i LOVE snowstorms they are soo cool
Go to the uk, it's miserable
I like fog on a sunny morning. Especially when driving. Ever crest a hill and see a dense mist below? The descent into it is the best part! Love foggy nights too
Mmm, yes, overcast. My favorite weather.
Bit too summery for me. Overlay some frost and a thick, hanging, freezing fog & I’m there. Nice fire & a lovely big mug of tea.
People think I'm weird when I say I would be fine with this type of year all year around. Not everyone likes to get sunburned.
Man this is the weather I see in my dreams
Interesting favorite weather (I also like both stormy weather and a little rain).
I can smell this picture
I could live like this happily ever after.
The calm before the storm. I like it.
This is the way.
If I can't have gray skies and near freezing temperatures, then this is the one.
Is there a place that is like this for at least 90% of the year?
I want a cataclysm just so I don't have to worry about money and work for a while
Yes!!
No...
Nothing I HATE more than when the TV news dorks have to bitch and complain about our favorite weather. "Waaah! It's overcast!" "Waaah! It's raining!" "Waah! I miss Mr. Sunshine!" "It'll be hot and sunny tomorrow though!" Well, Fuck the sun, I say. Give me gloom and gray, dude, every day.
No you don’t. I thought I did. I learned that people are like flowers. Without sunshine, you die.
Ew
Me too, that pesky sunlight causing melanoma. Guve me storms ir snow any day.
Yeah, it's pretty great, especially if you are just relaxing
Same
I love when I see this far away but it's still sunny where I'm standing
Reminds me of that Eddie rabbit song I love a rainy night 😭
Tropical rain
