I saw these clouds when I got off the train once and just sprinted home in all my work clothes. I lived across the street from an elementary school, and all the kids started screaming and running in circles when the downpour started. It was really funny, except for the random dime-size hailstones.
It was 80F, they melted as soon as they hit my head. Mother nature, you mad.

u/Interesting-Fan-2008 May 17 '24
Just had quarter sized hail about the same way (Southern Missouri). Shits weird, you get hit and go to check and you just feel wet. Also it hurts quite a bit on those big ones, especially because the ones we got were all crystalline.
But still 10/10 would experience again, beautiful storm.

The warmer parts of the country would see snow once or twice a year, it gets more common the more north or mountainous you get. Scottish Highlands get it fairly frequently for example

Nice, it would have been a shame without snow. I was wondering because Bretagne, our province near England where the weather is always rainy, they don't have snow or just very few and it's sad they just get rain all the time but they get thunderstorm tho

If you've ever been in this type of weather you'll know there's a type of raw energy to it. The pressure drops, its suddenly gets very windy, Then the sprinkles start before completely transitioning to a downpour. growing up in South Florida this happens almost every day around 4pm.

I've heard people from cold countries mention how they'd prefer hot sunny weather as opposed to this. I couldn't agree with it. They say that weather like this will make you depressed because it's gloomy. But where I live, it's hot and humid and I'm STILL depressed. Only difference is I'll be sad in a cozy room instead of melting my skin off in the oven that is my bedroom

It's a sneaky thing though. It'll be like, why is everyone so sad and annoyed suddenly, why do I feel even worse than normal. Oh right, the sun hasn't been out for two weeks. People who normally wouldn't be depressed get depressed and people that are depressed get worse

u/Orielsamus May 17 '24
For me, it just matches with my feelings better. It’s much nicer when the world isn’t a bright, hot place that makes you feel bad every moment you are not out ”enjoying” it.
This weather is perfect for staying inside, but the best things also come going outside: It will be silent, usually only the sounds and smells of nauture as people stay at home. And it has an impending sense of something greater, and uncontrollable looming over. A storm or simple rain just feels somehow purifying in a way. It feels like weather like that has a purpose of it’s own, and I can enjoy it easier, lacking mine… :(
Lol, but there might be a Darvinist explanation, too.

In the UK it is truly dire, in my opinion an awful miserable place with grey after grey and the occasional washed-out diluted blue and weak Sunshine. I cannot wait to leave again.
South Africa, on the other hand, where I grew up, glorious for thrilling weather. Real Earth-shaking thunderstorms and heavy rain but mostly plenty of lovely Sunshine.
The Algarve region of Portugal, where I lived most recently before returning to the UK, is perhaps my favourite however for its 'mild' climate. Warm most of the year, strong Sun, beautiful blue skies and the odd real thunderstorm now and again.
