With the autumn blues slowly creeping in, the wet weather rolls in yet again. It starts as a whispering in the air, hiding the bright sun behind a curtain of dark clouds looming in the sky. Sometimes it blows like a gentle shower, inspiring you to curl up in a cozy blanket with a hot beverage and a good book. Other times, it falls in big fat drops, leaving you spellbound as a thunderstorm pummels outside the window.
Everyone has a different outlook on a rainy day. But whether you love or hate it, it’s hard to deny the therapeutic effect it has on you. Here’s where the ‘Raining’ subreddit comes in — “a cozy place to enjoy the rain.” This online community unites over 413k pluviophiles, aka lovers of rain, aka people who find joy and peace of mind during rainy days. They rejoice when raindrops start to fall from the sky and share this delight with everyone online.
