Its been raining so much here in NY, I just thought this may cheer me up!

Ok I will start...
listen to the soft hum of it while laying in bed in the dark, and hearing thunder drift along miles away.

Snuggling up by the fire with a good book and listening to the rain fall...

Rain brings water, which you can drink.

Aloha!

not having to water my flowers outside. HURRAH!

cooler weather and lusher gardens! I've been loving my yard this year, seeing the results of slowly converting to conifers and shrubs over the last several years. Aside from a few days intense humidity here in the northeast US, I've been loving it!

I really like the smell of wet grass... :)

Rainism is a good song.

. . . . Oops, you weren't talking about the singer, were you?

In that case, I agree that rain means cooler weather and soothing sounds.

Rain does cool things down, but sometimes during the summer you get that warm rain that makes you want to run around and play in it.

After the rain my gardens look so beautiful !

the sound of raindrops on metal

In the south west of England, where we've had no summer yet - just persistent rain, i'm afraid i can't see too many good things about it.
Over here the (summer) rain we get is accompanied by no sunny interludes, low temps and humidity

Not having to wash my car

I'd kill for some rain to get rid of the humidity here...ugh

the sound it makes on your roof
