It's raining so much outside! Do you like the rain, I personally think it's quite relaxing. It's good to get to sleep with.

I like the rain as long as I am not doing anything. I hate going out in the rain and getting soaked. If I am just inside my apartment, I like it.

The way you worded the thread title and capitalized it like a book/movie/song title made me think of CCR's Who'll Stop the Rain.
That's now stuck in my head..


Considering that's it's very dry right now where I live and gearing up towards the usual summer wild fire hazard and burn bans - yes, rain is very very nice, but then my area doesn't flood unlike some parts of the state does. (did the Monday before last, pretty serious flooding)

it depends. I love sitting at home at night and listening to it rain. But storms scare the crap out of me! And I hate when it rains when we are going out because that means we cant put the top down on the car! (Although we have been known to keep it down when its raining lightly! You get some weird looks doing that!
)

In general I do. I prefer heavy rain over spotty annoying rain. I like to think heavy rain cleans the air better. Not long ago we had an entire week of spotty annoying rain. I assume the trees liked it though.

Rain nice: Thunderstorm in the middle of the night whenone was to race around the house shutting windows not to nice! That occured last night and possible tonite as well.

Lots of rain for June so far (over 6 inches) with more on the way. Having a sandy, lighter soil my plants are loving this!

It's so hard on the homeless people and pets. But if one can be cosy and warm inside, then I love it

I like rain also. In fact, I get really excited when it rains, because I miss it since moving to SoCal, which is really a desert. Usually it might rain a few times from December-February, and that's about it. This 'winter' we got more rain, and some bad floods in January actually, due to El Nino I think. The floods were no good, but the extra rain was cool. Variety!

In WA state, we just have to learn to live with the rain. Personally, I don't like rain...at least not the incessant nagging drizzle that is almost always around


Its been so rainy this spring; its the end of June and lots of farmers still haven't gotten their corn planted. Corn is supposed to be planted in May


Though when we get school canceled because of the rain it is sometimes nice
We don't have snow days - we just have rain days (a ton of flooding).

I like rain from the viewpoint that we need it so desperately here, but I do not like when I have to go out or washing to hang when it's raining.

It depends on the season and the amount. heavy rain after a very dry spell is bad, as it runs off the ground and causes floods. Right now we desperately need it after a very dry spring, as no one has any grass and the hay crop will be a disaster. I am still feeding the ponies the remnants of last year's hay as there is absolutely no grass in their fields. Right now they are grazing on my lawn, at least there is some grass there!

I love a good, relaxing rain. As a bonus, I don't feel on the hook for having a "good day", or doing something "productive", like I do when it's nice outside.

I used to like the rain. But until the landlord really fixes the roof for good and my bathroom roof continues to leak, I will not. I don't like going to the bathroom while holding a bucket over my head, and I like even less cold rainwater dripping on me when I'm trying to go to the bathroom. Then I don't like having to dry the floor 100% because Majel will not go into a room that has any amount of water on the floor. So I don't want her to have an accident so I'm REALLY trying to keep the floor clean.
