Does anyone else love the sound of rain through an open window when tucked up in bed?

I love listening to the sound of rain when I haven't got to be out in it.

It's relaxing and joyful.

Howtosolveit · 30/07/2023 21:19

ofc, it's the best. Enjoy OP!

Love it. It makes me feel safe and cosy.

NancyJoan · 30/07/2023 21:20

Yes. Sometimes go to bed early especially.

balatonbumm · 30/07/2023 21:20

So much!

GreenMarigold · 30/07/2023 21:21

My absolute favourite thing, especially if it is windy too!

Bananaramad · 30/07/2023 21:21

Absolutely love listening to the rain. I'll leave the bedroom window open when I'm in bed it's a beautiful sound ⛈

AlimonyHelp · 30/07/2023 21:22

I'm lying in the bath listening to the rain on the skylight. Does that count? ☺️

calmcoco · 30/07/2023 21:22

Sometimes but when it is so loud it wakes me up, not so much!

Lagershandy · 30/07/2023 21:22

I love it! Our conservatory has a glass roof and when it's raining I sit in there with cup of tea and listen to it 'sileing
it down ' as we say in Sheffield.

clpsmum · 30/07/2023 21:22

Love it

Barbaquequeen · 30/07/2023 21:23

I had this feeling last night. It also makes me feel very grateful for the safe cosy home for myself and my family

RunningFromInsanity · 30/07/2023 21:26

I love it! If I can’t sleep I play YouTube recordings of rainstorms

MmmALovelyBitOfSquirrel · 30/07/2023 21:27

I love it. I love Autumn, especially for the cosy-indoor-while-it's-blowing-a-gale-and-pouring-down-outside feeling.

Romeiswheretheheartis · 30/07/2023 21:32

I'm going to be the first person to say no. It raises my anxiety. I think it stems from previously living somewhere where there was a bit of a leaky roof, so I got stressed whenever it rained.

Me too ✋

Tigger1895 · 30/07/2023 21:34

I love the sound of the rain pounding the windows when tucked up inside. I also love walking in heavy rain when I know I’m heading home, not so much if I’m heading to work and get pissed on by a surprise downpour.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 30/07/2023 21:36

Yes, it makes me feel safe and secure

Nitgel · 30/07/2023 21:36

Last week we had water coming in through light fitting in the bedroom, broken tiles. So rain also stresses me. Soz

SquashPenguin · 30/07/2023 21:36

I play an 8hr YouTube video of the rain every night to fall asleep to. It has a black screen so doesn’t give off any light. I can’t sleep without it 😊

Vettrianofan · 30/07/2023 21:37

I love listening to the Sleeping forecast on BBC Sounds app for this effect. Too cold to have windows open through the night 🥶

Me too, I always wonder about people rough sleeping and how they are coping, I feel very grateful.

LadyPenelope68 · 30/07/2023 21:19

Yes, absolutely love it.

Me too! Currently in bed reading with the window open in the hope the rain will start again.

Being tucked under a warm duvet while it tips down outside is class!
