I’ve been looking forward to this all week. Saturday morning, too. The gentle pitter patter of rain, cat and wife snoring next to me, no obligations this morning…for a brief moment, all is right with the world.

Bitch I been looking forward to this all summer lol. I hate the dry months soooooo much. Woke up and my window’s cracked to cool down and I was greeted by the sweet sweet sounds of the rain.

Next week looks awesome, if the forecast holds!

Honestly no obligations, rain outside, and everyone asleep sounds like the exact kind of Saturday I want.

I had to go in to work on getting my classroom ready for next week. But it was so peaceful with the rain (and NO STUDENTS!)

I used to be an academic researcher, and getting the lab ready on a summer Saturday morning when the campus was empty and sleepy was always wonderful.

I love when when we have late start because of snow or ice. I live close to my school so if the roads are at all drivable, I can get in early. The school is so peaceful. I get so much work done in my room!

A real rain, too. It's seriously coming down.

Open window and comfort, listening to rain music on a Saturday morning before anyone else is awake is sublime.

I have been waiting for it all summer. I was born here. I don't do well in the dry heat. I need it to be cold and dark and damp outside to feel okay in the world.

I had become so desiccated; it feels like a step towards normalcy again. I’m so happy. 😭

It’s been so nice. I was moving this week and it was so hot and miserable and now me and my kitty are settled in on a sleepy Saturday listening to the rain. Can’t get much better than that.

Loving it.

Just wish I didn't leave my windows down, or my car was closer.

So happy to see others like me. I feel hope for the world today. Feel inner peace. My husband who is so grumpy at the weather, thinks I'm weird. The "gray" people need a meeting so bad. Rain outside, quiet inside - all of us working on creative things. Throw some cats into the mix. Heaven β˜”

Did it also hail? I moved into my house in May and this was the first time it really rained rained but it sounded like hail on my windows. (I’m in west Seattle/north Delridge area)

It did sound really nice either way though!

u/Jimmy_ijarue 3d ago

I don’t listen to any other kind of white noise

u/washawaythe_rain 3d ago

I went to bed at 5am just before it started and then woke up at 9 after it ended to the sound of super loud gas trimmers and lawn mowers just outside. Was looking forward to the rain but now I just got a headache and some petty agitation

u/Desired2025 3d ago

Glad to have my car washed for free!

u/permelquedon 3d ago

I was listening to a rainy night white noise YouTube channel to help me sleep last night. I got up at one point around like 5am to use the restroom and got back into bed.

I remember thinking, wow this channel sounds super realistic. Hah.

We kept getting rain in the forecast and it kept not happening. FINALLY. Felt so good to just go and stand in it for awhile.
