I enjoy the rain, but not being caught in it. Days where and when the monsoon rolls in and it pours briefly, if not wildly and violently, are as welcome to me as the gentle rains that last for hours, though that latter is exceedingly more rare. The real reason I am not so fond of being caught in the rain is I am not fond of being damp, even through say persistent humidity. I am much more partial to drier, if not colder climates and am very averse to clinging wet-cold. This goes hand in hand with my preference for light, powdery snow versus the slush and wet kind of some climates.
