In my city, summers bring evening thunderstorms. I've been enjoy the rainy days, but sometimes I wonder what to do? Perhaps when there is a downpour in your village, town or city you ponder this question too. Let's explore Souris' list of things to do when it is rainy day, and then you'll get a chance to share yours with me too.

🌧️☔︎🌧️☂️🌧️☔︎🌧️

1. Get moving

It is not safe to go hiking when there are thunderstorms. I have been working out to videos on YouTube and on my Fitbit app too. I have been enjoying walking workout videos. A great way to get my steps in during those rainy days. 

☔︎

2. Sleep Zzzzz...

I find the sounds of thunderstorms to be soothing, and enjoy falling asleep to the sound of rain falling incessantly. 

☔︎

3. Read a Book

Currently I am reading a book on my kindle to help me improve my Spanish, but I placed a hold at my library to read as the weather calls for more rain this weekend too. 

☔︎

4. Practice Gratitude

I enjoy watching the rain, while keeping my windows open. I appreciate the rain cooling down the hot summer days. I pull out my gratitude journal, and I answer some of the prompts.

5. Login to Cups Member or Listener Account

There is no better way to spend time on a rainy day other than making this post, on the Content and Development forum, for someone like you.

Now it is your turn.

I remember spending my childhood bathing in the rain. I won't mind making some mud puddles right now. I feel nostalgic in a good way from this beautiful post. ⛈️🌂🌈

I love rainy summer mornings, evenings, or nights. It’s so gentle how the earth refreshes itself to bring more cool air, and the peace that comes with hearing the heavy of rain. I love to do things that bring me more peace during rainstorms: running on my exercise machine, reading poetry, writing, or watching a show while I crochet. A beautiful post, by the way!

Okayy... A really fun activity 😁😁😁


So.... My few ideas to spend time on a rainy day..

Make paper boats

Record rain sound..

Make your favorite snack ... As in India it's really very famous to make tea and fritters.. So I make them and enjoy it with rain 🌧

As you can't go outside so you can call your friends and family if you are leaving alone and can enjoy that time with them instead of working... I mean cmon guys you can't disrespect rain 🥲



Well yeah that's it I am out of ideas now 😅

Hope you find them useful 😊 have a great day everyone ❤

I feel cozy after reading about the many things you partake in on a rainy day...

Fritters sounds yum‼️ Making paper boats sounds fun‼️

So nice post made me miss rainy days. I watch the rain from the balcony, contemplate it, make a drink I like, sit in front of the window, and continue contemplating the rain and the weather with my favorite song

I love your list :) I love riding in a car in the rain (as long as I’m not driving lol) and staring out the window, sleeping, relaxing because it’s a rain day and I can! It’s a great excuse to catch up on some me time.

On a rainy day I like to sleep and watch movies and tv… I also enjoy playing video games with my friends that are far away

PetiteSouris OP July 28th

@Fifaadict123

Sounds as if you make the most of rainy days ☔️

I feel as if I should open the Xbox I have and try playing a game. 

Which game  do you recommend for an absolute novice, and one who is afraid of losing? 🫣

I play Xbox as well and I don’t really know it really depends on what kind of person you are and what you like … one of my first games was a game called zoo tycoon and enjoyed that a bit

PetiteSouris OP July 28th

@Fifaadict123

I dont know what I like, but I dont like losing (haha). I am up for trying any game that involves tasks and is picturesque. I dont think id like car racing games, and those with violence.

You should try Minecraft it’s something everyone plays at least once no matter what it’s for all ages and genders

PetiteSouris OP July 28th

@Fifaadict123

Minecraft it is. I will try this out this week most definitely.

It's not that rainy here this season, but whenever it does rain, I love to make myself a hot cup of coffee and sit on the balcony.

A very cozy way to spend a rainy day ☔️

Doing a rain dance for you to sit on the balcony with coffee.

@PetiteSouris I am kind of jealous because I love rainy days so much and it doesn't rain a lot in my home country. A fun fact about me is that my (real) name actually means 'after the rain, all the plants start to grow', this might be a reason that I am keen of raining days.

@Hollytail

💦Love the significance of your name:

a beautiful name with a connection to nature.🌿

💦Doing a rain dance‼️ Hoping that it rains there soon💦

This post is so well put together and relaxing 😌, beautiful job. Rainy days are my favorite. I love the way the earth cools off and the everything feels calm and blue. I love staying in a writing with a candle when it rains.
