Do you like cloudy skies and rainy days?

I don't like rain, but I like cloudy skies like today, in which the clouds have blanketed everything like a bed sheet.

I love cloudy skies. The sunshine depresses me, especially when it's accompanied by heat and haze.

I'm not such a big fan of rain, mainly because I keep having mad fears that a bird's, er... 'released' onto my head or shoulder every time a raindrop hits me.

I love rain. Being inside or getting soaked. I only like heavy rain, though. Light rain is just a bit annoying.

i like pouring rain, and hail, and lightning. clouds are nice as they filter out the sun.

Depends on the scenery. Usually I do as the Texas sun is a pain in the ass and I'm light sensitive.

I love the pouring rain, but grey skies or light rain for more than a day or two leave me depressed. I love sunny days when the air is cool; they make me feel energized. Still, I'll take grey skies over infernal heat any day.

earlier today the area that I live in was quite nice, there was cloud cover with heavy rain for most fo the day, but the rain has passed and the sun is out so thats ruined it.

According to some website, my city only gets 61 sunny days a year. I enjoy them even though my eyes have trouble with the light. If it's cloudy and overcast it might as well pour in my opinion.

I like partly cloudy skies.
Not too bright, not too gloomy. Just right.

I love cloudy days. It's weird, but it's actually when the sun is out that depresses me. When it's cloudy on the other hand, I feel great.

Overcast days are the best. The temperature is usually perfect (around 60), the clouds are usually quite beautiful, and there's no sun out to bother my very light sensitive eyes. I like rain when it's light, but being out in pouring rain is a pisser.

It depends. As long as it lingers around for just a day or two, I'm fine. However, I dislike those week-long thunderstorms.

Definitely. The more it rains the better. The sun burns me and makes me depressed; it can go away and die.

Reading all of the people who say that they get depressed when it's sunny, I can easily believe that they prefer cloudy weather, but my intimate familiarity with how vitamin D works makes me wonder how happy they would be with a vitamin D deficiency (and dietary sources of vitamin D are not absorbed very well, making them not particularly helpful in this area).

In theory, I think that sounds wretched, but I used to live in a town which also averaged 61 days a year, and yet it didn't seem that gloomy at the time. I've been worrying that the place I'll (probably) be moving to soon only gets about 150 sunny days a year (I've mostly been worrying because everyone tells me how grey and rainy the place is), but now that I look it up, that's 50-60 more than my hometown area gets and that place isn't particularly gloomy weather-wise. I suspect it just rains more often than average, and that's fine by me.


I love thunderstorms so much, just the thought of them puts a smile on my face. One thing I miss about the east coast--such beautiful thunderstorms!

I don't mind cloudy or rainy days however i much prefer a sunny day overall.

I like it better when it's warm and sunny. I've had my fair share of clouds and sunshine, this spring.
