    Weather feelings

    I hate rain. Same, mostly.

    Hating rain is one of the most normal opinions there is: wet socks, flat hair, umbrellas that turn inside out, a plan that was fine an hour ago. Here is the case against it, where rain is rarest in the US, and a few lines for the next grey day.

    Get roasted by your own forecastFree, no account, and you pick how rude I get.

    The case against rain

    • Wet socks last all day. Nothing else in weather manages that.
    • Umbrellas are built for rain from one direction, and rain knows it.
    • The forecast says light rain. The pavement says otherwise.
    • Every outdoor plan comes with a backup plan, and the backup plan is the sofa.

    By the numbers

    If rain is the problem, Las Vegas gets about 26 wet days a year at its weather station. Astoria gets about 196.

    What I think

    • I hate rain. Rain does not care, which is the worst part.
    • Rain is just the sky refusing to let a good day happen.
    • Light rain is a lie told by people who have never owned socks.
    • Some people love rain. Those people have a car and a sofa.
    • Rain: the weather that turns a five-minute walk into a commute.
    • Drizzle is rain that cannot commit, and somehow that is worse.
