Clear Skies or Cloudy?

[Point]

Just a quick, fun poll - I've seen a few hints here and there about what people seem to like but so far they've been pretty anti-sun.

Which do you prefer, and why?

I like it a lot when it rains. The clouds and, well, uh, the rain remind me of when I was younger and lived by the beach in California. I also love falling asleep to the sound of rain! :biggrin:

I guess the best way to approach this would be to consider a comfortable position that you're in while it's like that. That could be outside playing games in the sun or by a fireplace looking at the rain.

partly cloudy. No explination, just like em...

 

[Neonite]

I like mostly clear skies, with just a few clouds here and there.

...So, I guess partly cloudy. n.n

Either that or rain. I love the rain. XD

 

[EmeraldsAndLime]

Overcast. No sun, but not raining either so you can still do stuff outside.

 

[Tigger]

I don't like sunny days, probably because we have brutal summers and I just get sick of having sun beating down on me (even when it's the nice spring temperatures I don't like). My choice was overcast. I love it when it rains too because we rarely get rain here. I wouldn't be able to stand it all the time though.

I like hot sunny summer days. Allthough kinda bad weather for wearing a diaper...

Call me dark, emo, gothic, whatever. But, I hate sunny/nice days. I just... hate them. It just makes the day seem busy. I really don't know how to explain.

I love dark, gloomy, rainy, cloudy days. Those are by far the best. Why? Well hell, you've got me there. Honestly, it makes staying indoors more comfy, and I just love the theme.

A lot of my family say I take after my uncle (recently passed away in 2005). He liked to sit on the roof and watch thunderstorms. I do the same thing occasionally. Sometimes I like to sit on my roof in a downpour, just get totally soaked, and lay there and just... well lay there in the rain. On the roof.

Yeah. Dramatic. Whatever

I like sunny weather. But the type of sunny we get here in spring or fall, not the type of sunny you would get there in Dryzone (aka Arizona).
We're currently experiencing a week of heavy storm, rain, hail, thunderstorms and occasional interludes of partly sunny weather, and the rain beating on my window kept me up half the night. So I'm sick of it - gimme sun! NOW!

I put partly cloudy...I don't like bright sun...it hurts my eyes, makes me hot 'n tired....but I don't like overcast days or rain/snow/other stuff that falls from the sky either...too dreary, makes me tired too! LOL

 

[skinnypuppy]

Partly cloudy for me. I like looking at the cloud formations, specially if they are dramatically lighted by the sun. I get my camera out and try to get nice pictures. I like the sun too, but not to excess, and the clouds help keep me from getting too much of it.

i love the transition period when a thunderstorm comes looming in overhead interrupting a beautiful sunny day. perfect for putting on some hard dance music and just enjoying the natural light show

 

[Ranger]

Sunny with big, puffy clouds.

 

[Pramrider]

I chose overcast. Most of the time I'm outside is when I'm driving to work, the store, and so forth. I have to wear glasses to read and get tired of it. Last thing I want to do is put on yet other glasses to block the bright sunlight while I'm driving. I much rather enjoy seeing the outdoors while driving without glasses even if it means a gloomier looking day. Sometimes I like rainy days, but too much dampness makes my mold allergies kick in giving me bad headaches.

When you've lived out in the heat as long as I have, you welcome cool, cloudy days. I really don't like the sun- it doesn't suit me. I've always been sensitive to bright light, so the sun just kills me on a hot day! I probably need to go to the eye doctor about that, but meh.. I hate doctors in general.

So I vote for cloudy. If it's warm outside, and the sun is mostly hidden or fully hidden, I'm happy.

 

[daria7483]

I can go with anything - it just depends on what we've had lately. I get tired of a bunch of sunny days in a row, or rainy days.

Cloudy without rain is pretty annoying though.

We've had a drought here for the past year or so, so usually I really wish it would rain. But of course when it finally rained hard a couple of weeks ago for the first time in forever, it was a cold, miserable night and you couldn't go outside for two seconds without getting drenched, and naturally, I needed to go buy groceries.

 

[Squigma]

I hate sunny days. The light and heat just annoy me, and every just looks so imperfect in the light.

When it's dark and cloudy... I can't see the little imperfections in things and it all looks so much more beautiful. Darkness just feels much calmer.

And then rain just makes things even better! The way streetlights are reflected on the wet ground is just beautiful. And something about the feeling of being warm and cosy inside while a storm rages outside feels so awesome!

 

[avery]

i love it all! sunshine can make me really happy. and i love the rain and the way it makes things smell. and everything in between, basically.

i particularly like really warm cloudy days in summer when the birds and insects are still making their usual sunny-day noises but everything is a little more subdued. and windy sunny days with lots of white clouds high up moving really fast across the light-blue sky.

 

[Dash]

:whistling: I luv teh sunshine... oh yeah!

The sunshine makes me happy - because I'm just so cliché and full of pathetic fallacy!
But really, I'm quite an outdoorsy person, even though I spend a large portion of my time on my laptop.

I like the rain when it's really heavy and I'm all toasty-warm in my room

I like tornadoes and extreme weather conditions - cos when I was younger I wanted to be a storm chaser... in fact I still do! :happy: hehe

 

[quattrus]

I don't have an "absolutely favourite" weather condition. I like the weather to change, since I equally enjoy bright sunny days without a cloud in the sky, the power of a rainstorm with thunder and lightning, or puffy clouds that artistically paint the sky.... what usually annoys me if I'm doing something outside are those grey moist days with thin rain that has the only effect of getting my car dirty if I take it out of the garage, or summer days when I seem to die from heat and humidity.

If anyone of you is a fan of clouds (or a detractor of cloudy weather who wants to change his mind...), I suggest you have a look at this site:
