I like to be in the rain if I am either adequately prepared (with a warm raincoat and appropriate footwear) or if it doesn't matter how presentable I am afterwards. It's nice to walk and get soaked in a cool summer rain, as long as you can wear dry clothes afterwards and not have to see people. Otherwise it's nice to sit on the front porch and watch a driving rain.

Rain makes the best sleeps, though. I love when we're in for a night full of rain. I open my windows just enough to get a breeze and the sounds, not enough to soak the carpet, then I snuggle in and get the best sleeps.
