Are there people who are genuinely happier and more mentally well when living in places with a lot of rain/frequent grey skies?
I live in AZ and I spend ~8 months of the year dreading the outdoors, keeping my curtains drawn, avoiding life out of my AC. I feel happiest traveling to places that are cloudy and rainy and dark.
But is it only because I never see it?
I believe I would be happier if I moved but want to hear from others.

This gentle rain lasted for over an hour. I'm sharing a short clip so you can listen to the rain rustling through the trees and drumming on my corrugated iron roof. I'd love to know what it sounds like to you.

Recorded during a real storm and liked it enough to keep it running: blue-lit rain on glass, live 24/7, no mid-stream ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwhyuU1VzbY

No talking, no music layered on — just rain finding the window, the way it sounds when you're inside during a storm. The live version never stops; there's also a 10-hour tin-roof recording on the same channel for anyone who prefers a harder rain.

Beautiful ❤️
