Tue fog

11.43p.m. A hot day followed by a cold southerly change around 6.30p.m. At one point the rain drops were so large and cold I was sure it would hail. I could hear the rain pouring while on the phone with my cousin. Within minutes it hit here, only lasting a few minutes if that. The chickens only slightly hesitated entering the coop tonite I can hear the flying foxes chattering as they eat the nectarines I left them.

That's a very good question. I had to think about it.

Rain is transformative. Everything in the landscape changes. All the colors are different, they become deeper, richer, fuller. It's like being suddenly transported to a different planet.

Rain changes a static landscape into a dynamic one. It's exciting! I love watching the little rivulets find their way and the tiny ponds form. Water pools and spills over and runs and meanders and moves. Its energy is tireless. I wish mine were, too!

Rain stops the world: people and animals stake out a place and stay there until it passes. Watch, and rest.

I like the sound of rain. It's different everywhere it falls... on leaves, dirt, pavement, roofs, overhangs, cars, umbrellas, raincoats. Everything has a different rain sound.

Rain clouds are like giant fluffy grey blankets encompassing you, hugging you, making everything feel snuggly and safe. Rain outdoors means tea and comfort indoors.

Rain clears the air of pollution and the ground of gunk. It makes the air smell so good. I want to gulp deep lungfuls of it. It makes me feel strong and alive.

Rain means life. There are no desolate, post-apocalyptic landscapes in places where it rains regularly. There's plenty for everyone. Plants grow, animals thrive, life is abundant. It's preservation from thirst and refuge from need. It's reassuring. (Desert landscapes, on the other hand, make me very uneasy. Where is the water and what happens when it runs out??)

I love watching it rain on the ocean. Water pouring into water. It makes me feel a part of something eternal and timeless.

I've always been awed by the power of a thunderstorm and lightning. I get swept up with it. I feel like I'm part of its magnificence.

I like novelty and change. After the rain, the world wakes up and shakes itself off but it's never exactly the same again.

I grew up with this song and have fond memories of it, I still love it. The hand-drawn animation is stunning:

Up until Dec2021, 3 years ago (broken elbow)

As long as I was layered up and warm in cold temps I loved to walk in the rain
Rain boots that came almost up to my knees,rain coat umbrella

And in hot weather I may not wear the boots or coat and only use one of those dollar poncho’s to keep from getting soaking wet unless it was an extended downpour then I wore low rain boots and dollar store poncho

The rain never stopped me walking ( last 10 years walking to bus stop and riding the bus)
Thunder & lightning did
I would call in late for work or leave early

I love to watch lightning and listen to the different sounds of rain and thunder crack and rumble
And the vibrant colors of trees and grass etc
And the smell

Of course this was walking not driving
It’s been 3 years since I drove
And I stopped driving in rain with wet slick streets 2012

Tuesday &

Christmas forecast

 

[SkyAJK]

26degree
77%humidity
Temporary no rain, has been heavy rain last night & this morning
Cloudy = more rain to come.
The weather report on TV says - Warning Extreme Heatwave.
I am thinking where do they report their weather from? The SUN?
We are drowning in rain day in day out.
Each time I put my feet on the lawn, they sunk down then water and mud surrounded my feet.
Wet, humid, the ground can not take anymore water. Flies are everywhere.
I have the oven turn on with a some orange peels so that the heat in the oven dried off the moisture in my house a bit and the orange peels give out nice smell.

Your post is beautiful and sound so like poetry.
I do LOVE the sound of rain falls on a tin roof, beautiful like music.
BUT, at the moment I do NOT love anymore rain.
We have been having too much rain so excessive/extreme is so bad.
We are drowning in rain day in day out.
The wet and humid weather creates breeding ground for bacteria, virus.
Fruits with prolong rain tastes watery and blanch, rotten easily and quickly.
I get crawly things on my hair and skin whenever I come down into the garden.
Flash flooding cause life misery
More accidents on the road.
I am just simply drowning in this endless rain and unable to see any goodness in this prolong rain.

Each time I put my feet on the lawn, they sunk down then water and mud surrounded my feet.

I experienced this in 2020 and I will never forget the smell of sodden, liquid earth. Even the dog couldn't walk on the lawn without drawing mud. Over the course of that summer, a friend and I ended up walking the dogs at parks closest to the beach, but even those areas with sandy soils soon saw the rising mud. All the local parks' lawns grew to a most lush green grass of almost knee-height. Council mowing then scarred the spongy surface with their tractors. There are some areas where the tractor furrows remain.
