Rainy Summer evenings

[Rainysummerevenings]

Does anyone else have little weather/season related memories like this?

For some reason rainy Summer evenings always remind me of childhood things.

Going to the off licence with my dad and him buying me a mint aero.
Playing out with my friends and sheltering in the porch from the rain.
Walking to the takeaway with my best friend and buying a massive portion of chips and curry sauce and walking in the rain eating them.
Going to rent a video with my friends and getting home all cosy to watch it.

No idea why it’s rainy Summer evenings, perhaps because we have a lot of them 🤣

I think that may be it OP, as where I grew up, it rained infrequently, so any memories, especially from childhood, were more negative as it spoiled our plans and we stayed inside and sulked!
I loved reading your memories though, very special, you made the best of it!

Walking along the beach in the thunderstorm with my mum. We saw the rain start and immediately headed out. Absolutely magical

Getting on the plane to go on holiday in pelting rain and stepping off into blistering sunshine thinking 'yes, summer holidays have finally begun'

Lots of planned picnics and barbecues being held under gazebos and big umbrellas

Being relieved I didn't have to water the grass at sunset because the heavens finally opened
