Its pissing down with rain.

How satisfying is that to hear?

Just that. I have no one else to tell🤷🏼‍♀️

One of my favourite noises. So cosy.

Waiting for the rain here but can hear nearby trains trundling by, which I find relaxing.

Oh I keep my window open for summer rain too.

I also use a sleep app that has rain as an option.

Enjoy

It's lovely, I'm listening too. I think the lack of wind must make the difference between lovely and being terrified the house is going to blow away in a storm!

Thelikelylass · 24/06/2021 23:01

Yes, and the sound of taxis and buses in the distance whooshing in the rain, taking people safely home. It's such an evocative sound.

Same here, but I can hear owls calling too, sheep bleating and cattle lowing in the distance! But, sadly, it has also obscured the Midsummer full moon, although this was it, rising, earlier

Oh im not sure about the trains, don’t think i could cope with that.

I don’t usually hear anything bar the sheep bleating but the rain is bliss!

Love the sounds of rain! So calming

Justmuddlingalong · 24/06/2021 23:06

It's so relaxing. I'm going to sleep with the window open tonight.
Was a nice change not having to water the garden tonight too, so that was an added bonus.

MustDust · 24/06/2021 23:06

My son has just said the same! He's even opened his window wider to hear it.

GNCQ · 24/06/2021 23:06

Wherever are you? There wasn't a single day in May without rain here, no seeds could take and nothing grew. I'm done with the rain where we are!

BoattoBolivia · 24/06/2021 23:06

Have a listen to this song-Martin Stephenson and the Daintees 'Rain'- just the most beautiful sound

Thirstquenching · 24/06/2021 23:09

I am the same. Not another sound apart from the rain. Lovely Smile

SoMuchForSummerLove · 24/06/2021 23:11

Lying here in the dark listening to the rain, and the occasional train from across the river.

Which is much better than last night when I had to run outside to rescue a screaming frog from my cat Shock

HereLiveIAmNotACat · 24/06/2021 23:16

Even better than laying in bed is laying in the bath in candlelight listening to the rain

Justmuddlingalong · 24/06/2021 23:19

We used to go caravan holidays when I was wee. The sound of the rain on the roof at night while all cosy in my bunk bed was the best.

TickTockBitches · 24/06/2021 23:22

I have the air con unit on and all
I can hear is that and sirens (I live in the middle of two hospitals)

Impatientwino · 24/06/2021 23:24

We're away in North Norfolk. We arrived earlier to a garden full of wild flowers and sat with a bottle of champagne, listening to the birds and watching the swallows/swift (not sure which) fly around. Now we're inside listening to the rain with the windows open and a lovely cool breeze. It's heavenly!

Impatientwino · 24/06/2021 23:25

So unlike our usual life it's unreal!

Keepyourdistance000 · 24/06/2021 23:30

Just started raining here. Window slightly open and it is very relaxing just laying here listening to it (and the trains still). Also smells lovely.
