Introduction

So you think you love rain and now you want to learn how to become a pluviophile. Don’t let the big fancy word intimidate you, you’re already halfway there if you’re so eager to learn! This article will give you insight into the mind of a pluviophile and will then also help you unlock your inner pluviophile. Let’s begin!

What is a Pluviophile?

A pluviophile, to keep it simple, is someone who loves rain. The word pluviophile can be separated into two different parts; pluvial, meaning rain and phile, meaning to love or to be fond of. Pluviophiles are those people who love rain and everything about it. It’s different from just liking rain, it’s about loving it deeply and forming a connection with rain.

Test yourself: Are you a Pluviophile?

Before moving forward, let’s test and see if you’re already a pluviophile. Coming up next are a few signals that could point towards or away from you being a pluviophile.

Do you love water?

While other people would like water or be fond of it, pluviophiles seem like they might have an unhealthy obsession with water. Whether it’s the swimming pool, the beach, or the rain, pluviophiles capture any chance they can be in and around water.

Do you love long showers?

Pluviophiles try to feel the joy of a rainy day whenever they can. What better place than a shower to do this? Please turn on the shower; they feel like they’re in the middle of the rain. They love the water trickling down their face and arms, they love the sound of the water droplets hitting the bathroom floor.

Does rain fill you with joy?

Instead of being bummed out about a rainy day, are you ecstatic when it starts pouring? Does rain make you so happy that you race to the window to see it fall? Does it make you feel like a kid again? Do you wish you could run outside and play around in the rain? Do you actually do it?

Do you love the scent of rain?

Are you particularly fond of how it smells when the rain starts falling? Does this scent bring back memories of your first love, or another memory close to your heart? Do you want to trap this scent in a jar and have a whiff of it whenever you wish?

Is the sound of rain falling music to your ears?

Do your heartbeats calm down whenever you hear the steady soft thuds of raindrops falling on the rooftop? Is this sound soothing to you? Do the rustling leaves on trees sound like they’re inviting you outside to play?

Most of all, how does rain make you feel on the inside?

Do you feel more in touch with your surroundings, and more importantly, your emotions when it’s raining? Does rain make you introspect and think about life? Are you sent into a completely different state of mind where it’s just you and your feelings?

The Path to Becoming a Pluviophile

After reading the last section, you probably have a good idea of what you should feel. Let’s now see how to become a pluviophile and actually feel those things. Don’t worry, it’s pretty easy.

Pluviophiles are known for being in touch with their feelings and living in the moment. So whenever it rains, try to focus on your breathing and the sound of the raindrops hitting the roof, the trees and the ground. As soon as you smell the scent of the first rain, petrichor, let your mind remind you of beautiful moments throughout your life. Pay close attention to how this sensory experience makes you feel. 

Let go of being an adult for a little while, take off your tie and coat and go out in the rain. Feel it against your skin, let it run down your back and give you the chills, play with the water, splash around, and have a blast! 

Being a pluviophile is all about living the current moment to the fullest.

Do Pluviophiles behave differently on rainy days?

Yes! A pluviophile is entirely in its element on a rainy day. In fact, if you want to learn how to become a pluviophile, you should observe one on a rainy day. Watch how joyous they get and listen to the excitement in their voice while they talk. While every pluviophile might have their own little ritual or way of perceiving the rain, the fact that they’re happy on the inside and outside is common throughout all of them.

Conclusion

In conclusion, learning to become a pluviophile is as easy as reconnecting with yourself and your surroundings on a rainy day. Allow yourself to feel complex emotions, then allow yourself to take a break from the feelings and experience rain. Find your own unique way of loving rain, and you will soon become a pluviophile.

I live in the middle east, but I always aim to come to Europe during the transition season to hang out in the rain ☔ Since I remember, I have loved rainy days and found excuses to play outside, jumping through the puddles. As a grown-up, I found out I am a classic Pluviophile ;)
