SEN What is your favorite type of weather? Dry or humid? Raining or snowing or sunny?

I like snow, specifically blizzards that snow you in and don't allow you to go out to work. :3 those are the best. And the snow is so pretty, especially at night.

Blizzard + blanket + hot chocolate + vidya games = best.

Summer storms.

They're warm and wet and the thunder and lightning is all exciting and electrifying -- great time to go running.

Any sort of warm rain. It's hardly ever warm when it rains where I live, so it's quite unusual and fun when it does happen.

Fall weather. End of September/beginning of October when I can go outside in shorts and a hoodie. Having the constant small fall breeze makes it all the better. Also, right before it storms. the cool, windy weather is amazing. But then when it pisses down rain, it sucks.

Right before or after a big rain when the air is still cool and heavy. The feeling on your lungs is intense.

Summer rainstorms. It's warm, it's dark, it's humid, and the rain makes the air so refreshing.
Unfortunately with my being in a desert, that almost never happens. And when it has happened recently, I've been at work so unable to be a part of it.

Otherwise, overcast. Any day where the sun isn't raping my retinas.

No one likes warm sunny days??

This is SEN. Nobody likes warm happy things.

Personally, I like early-mid November. Not too cold to run (hell, we even ran for wrestling in December...fucking 30 degree runs are NOT OK), and not too warm.

The fall.

I enjoy being able to wear a lite coat and gloves, work my ass off, and not sweat in the least.
You would think that that works well in the winter too, but it does not.

I grew up where it was overcast most days of the year, where it rained a lot. I didn't like the rain; I had to walk a little more than a mile (~25-30 minute walk) to and from my bus stop, and the rain was no friend to me there. Sure, jackets and umbrellas: luggage to carry for this long distance, if I was fortunate enough to have them with me (a clear morning and afternoon showers was commonplace). Then, even when leaving prepared, I have a clunky umbrella or soaked jacket to lug around with me all day. I just got used to being drenched when the weather whimmed it. But never did I enjoy it, and I was convinced the only people that said they liked rain were the ones that didn't have to truly experience it: those that would run outside for a few minutes and then go back to a warm house and change into dry clothes; those people don't enjoy the rain, they enjoy their conveniences and leisure and simply misattribute it. Walk in it when it isn't your choice, when your clothes look like they're being transferred from the washer to the dryer, when you have to sit in a chair and hear the water escaping your jeans, when your feet feel like they're sitting in a chilled soup inside your shoes. Only then could you tell me if you liked the rain. You bet I preferred the warm sun.

Snow was a different story. Snow was rare, snow was fun. Build a snowman, school is cancelled! How could you not enjoy it? Well, aside from having to shovel it to get the car out of the driveway? That, and the power tended to go out because of it. And it's really cold, did you know? As fun as it was, it really beat you up, even though you equip your favorite puffy jacket to battle the elements. My face was on fire, but in freezing temperatures? That's okay, I can go inside. Unless I need to fetch some firewood. Or shovel the snow; have you noticed how unintuitively heavy snow is? No, this isn't fun. This isn't rare enough. I'll be damned if I build another snowman; I already made one this year! Inside became my favorite location when it snows, so I can't honestly say I enjoy it as a weather. I enjoy staying inside with a warm cup of hot chocolate, watching the snow from the safety of my home, and as long as the power wasn't out for more than a few days, I would be happy. No, winter is not my favorite climate, either.

That leaves one, surely? A nice, bright, sunny day. These are all very well, even if it became so bright it was difficult to see; squinting is not worthy of complaint. The thing I looked forward to in all four seasons was those rays of light telling me it would be a good day. Well, three seasons. I didn't grow up with air conditioning (it's rather uncommon in the northwest), and some Summers liked to remind me. We would get heat waves, causing the house to become a hospitable temperature of over 90 degrees well into the late evening; we couldn't get that hot air out of the house until long after the sun had set. "Only" 90 degrees, yes: to Hades those places that hit three digits Fahrenheit; they only serve as more examples of this unacceptable climate! Maybe I have less of a right to complain, but I have that right nonetheless. What can you do on a hot Summer day to cool down? The measures are certainly more difficult than throwing an extra blanket on the bed, the suitable reaction to a cold winter day. It came as a relief when it rained, and better yet, I was on vacation, so I needn't walk through it if I had no such inclination. If the sun agrees not to attempt to destroy me, we can get along just fine, but that's the extent of my sunny day appreciation.

So, that's what I grew up with. Now I move away from the rainy, cloudy climate and switch to that more akin to the desert. The sun can fuck off at this point; I'll stay inside with the AC as it tries to melt the city. And why does it snow so much?! Is Winter trying to compete with Summer here? I learned that I hate driving in snowy or icy conditions; I'm shoveling snow so I can partake in an activity I won't enjoy. I miss the rain, the sound it makes, though I have no desire to tread in it for extended periods of time. So, conclusively, I like the weather I am used to the most. The weather that some consider gloomy, but I consider comforting.

My favorite type of weather is a nice, overcast day.

Yeah, but what was the average air temperature when it was raining? It's typically 54 or colder here. Now when it's 70+, rain is much more pleasant.

I will agree that rain is better when it's warm than when it's cold (and it is most often cold), like how a punch on the arm is better than a punch to the stomach. I will gladly welcome the rain if it's a hot day, but the temperature doesn't alleviate the issues I mentioned; like I said, it's enjoyable if I don't have to be in it, but that's not a reason to say it's a preferable weather to me.

On average, I will enjoy walking around on an overcast day far more than a sunny day or rainy day. It's just nice.

Overcast.

In english?

Heavy fog, accompanied by the morning or evening sun.

That's next in line. I take preference to other weather because of how rare and refreshing it is.
I like warm, but the sun is too bright. That's why I have a blackout shade over my window all the time.

@Roy's story:
It rains so little here that I go outside and intentionally get rained on. Except almost never do I get soaked as we don't get that kind of rain... (Though I do have some fun memories of that happening) And yes, snow is the most obnoxious thing, I think people are crazy who like it and live here.
You don't have to be familiar with that to enjoy it after living here. That's just the reaction to living here.

Blue sky.

It's a touhou allusion.
