Without the luxury of an automobile, getting around when it is raining is the only thing I dislike about the rain.

You are right though, a good rain is calming. And when you go out after it has stopped, everything seems so fresh and the air has that clean feeling to it.

I have not experienced the rainy season yet, but as I understand it the difference it that the rain lasts longer. Whereas now it will rain for a few hours and then stop.
