Word of the Day - Pluviophile

[jujube]

A lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.

"A pluviophile would be happy in Florida during the summer."

 

[Lavinia]

Never heard the word pluviophile before but it certainly describes me. I love going out in the rain.

 

[JustDave]

Can't wait to drop one in a conversation.

 

[Lavinia]

Is there such a thing as a pluviophobe?

 

[JustDave]

Is there such a thing as a pluviophobe?

Sure, but it's probably politically incorrect.

 

[RadishRose]

That's a new one to me.

I think I am a pluviophile; not that I like to stand outside in the rain, but rainy days do give me peace of mind. I feel more comfortable and at ease.

Now, I'm happy there is a word for it.

I’m definitely a pluviophile if listening to the sound of rain on the roof counts. To help me get to sleep, I listen to recordings of rain.

Pluviophile, as in: there aren't many pluviophiles in Dallas these past few days. Or some other places in the south.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Was Gene Kelly's character (Singin' In The Rain) a pluviophile?

 

[Mizmo]

uhuh...and maybe B J Thomas was a pluviophile too.....
