Rain is often used as a negative term to describe lousy weather. It can be used by people who are complaining about the weather to explain how it has become more demanding than it should be. They often say, “It’s raining again!” while crawling out of bed, feeling that everything has become more challenging. Unfortunately, rain isn’t something most of us celebrate.

According to a blog post on the health care provider WebMD website, rain can impact our mood. It can make us feel lonely and depressed, and it can also lower our self-esteem. Clinical psychologist Tecsia Evans, Ph.D., said that people tend to feel more depressed and lonely when the weather gets dreary.
Like most people, you might want to avoid turning off the lights and going back to bed after a rainstorm. According to Evans, studies show that light can boost serotonin levels and help people feel better.

One of the most important things you can do to boost your spirits is to engage in uplifting activities that can make you feel better, such as watching a movie or playing a game. According to Evans, if the rain gets to you, don’t try to isolate yourself from the outside world. Instead, try reaching out to your friends and family. This will allow you to feel better even if the weather turns ugly.

For people suffering from depression or anxiety, the sound of rain can help them find calm. According to Emily Mendez, a neurologist, and expert on calming and relaxation, the natural sound of rain can help people get through their day. Countless videos feature the calming effect of rain, which can help people relax and focus on their goals.
According to music therapist and North London Music Therapy director Marianne Rizkalla, the sound of rain is a universal favorite. It has a lot to do with its rhythmic qualities, similar to those of a white noise machine. It allows us to experience complete relaxation.

It’s believed that going outside during rainfall can help boost your mood and decrease your risk of experiencing adverse effects. Negative ions can float in the air and create a hostile environment. You might find yourself in the mountains, beaches, or even in a thunderstorm.
In 2018, a review of studies revealed that harmful ion exposure could help improve various aspects of human health. According to Healthline, research has shown that exposure to negative ions can help people feel better and reduce their symptoms of depression. It also suggests that these chemicals can improve cognitive performance and stimulate the development of new brain cells.
