I actually love rainy vacations more than sunny ones

r/

Everyone’s obsessed with “perfect weather” but honestly, I love when it rains a bit while I’m traveling.
It slows everything down, makes cafés cozier, and the photos turn out more interesting anyway.
Give me a misty day over a sunburn any time.

    For one day, absolutely. Not the whole vacation unless I decided on a rainy location.

    For me this depends on my plans and where I’m going

    I mean, if you go on a Caribbean vacation, it usually rains a little and doesn’t last more than an hour. I don’t mind that one bit.

    Come to Scotland, head up the coast and when you’re being blasted with horizontal rain then see if you think the same.

    Raining a bit and a downpour is very different. Feel sorry for any tourists that get stuck in our sideways rain

    Sounds like Ireland would be ideal for you.  It’s dry now, but will probably be raining again as soon as exam season is over.

    I like outside vacations like camping off-roading and backpacking so I definitely disagree.

    I, too, like going to Scotland.

    As a person who has disabilities that are made far worse in the sun, I totally agree. I have always preferred a cloudy day to a sunny one but now it’s essential if I want to spend time outside. We just went on a short vacation at the beginning of April and it poured buckets full of rain the entire time. We just pulled out the umbrellas and went on our merry way! ☔ 👍🏻

    I love camping, and historically no matter where I go or what day week or month I go it seems to always rain, and I really love it. I also get bummed out if I don’t wake up to sound of rain on my tent atleast one of the nights.

    You’d like Southeast Asia in the wet season. It doesn’t rain for the whole day but in spurts. It’s hot, and the humidity is off the charts, but the rain relieves some of it. Verses Australia where it’s super hot and humid but doesn’t rain.

    Rainy vacations are cool and dreamy in Japan/korea. But a really fucking bad time in South East Asia

    Don’t generalize about “everyone”! I, for example, much prefer winter to summer!
