This came up in IRC. Do you like sunny or cloudy days better?

I definitely prefer cloudy days. Lots of brightness hurts my eyes. I always liked the mood and more muted colours of a cloudy day, and the grey sky. I get a bit annoyed when people IRL just assume that I love sun

I also love rain Especially a nice light rain. It sounds pretty and I even think it feels good if it's not really heavy. Clouds and rain are some things I really like about Seattle, actually.

On days like today where the temperature is around 55, I definitely prefer the sun, otherwise it just gets depressing. Admittedly, if it's already hot out then the sun can make things worse, but even so...

I prefer the sun. Then I have a reason to wear my sunglasses. 8D

I have strange tastes. I prefer rain to anything else, but if it's not raining I'd rather it just be a little sunny out with some clouds mixed in. I hate totally clear days. They give me headaches.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I like clouds. I'm albino so my eyes are very sensitive to light and also the clouds make it so I don't burn as easily outside.

But I also like the general tone as well. Things are more neutral. The contrast isn't as overwhelming so I can see more comfortably, and the yellowyness that the sun tends to tint everything is uncomfortable to look at, especially for long periods of time. The sun also doesn't seem to help much during winter. It continues to be about as cold as it'd be, it just makes it more unpleasant for the reasons listed above. In the summer, however, the clouds tend to help for heat a bit, especially when it rains, but we haven't had very rainy summers for the past few years.

Cloudy and rainy days are my favorite. The gloomier and wetter, the better.

I know, I'm strange.



Also, I should point out that sometimes cloudy days can be just as bright, if not brighter than sunny days. Even though the sun is not directly shining on you, clouds can disperse and reflect the light much more than air does. So instead of a single bright source, you have almost-as-bright white light coming from all directions, resulting in a seemingly pure white sky.

This morning was cool, overcast, and drizzly. It was probably the most perfect weather I could have asked for. :<

I like drizzly days or days with light rain the best. Snow is nice, but it's really cold... :< Ice and heavy rain are just annoying when you have to go out into them, and sunny, even with clouds, is kind of boring. :<

I like sunny days, primarily. Too many cloudy days in a row will actually affect my mood (more accurately, my depression) adversely... I like it when it rains or snows, but ugly dirty-looking grey clouds that produce nothing and do nothing but hide the beautiful blue sky just depress me.

I picked cloudy because I love watching clouds drift by but when it's all nice and mild outside, sun is preferable.

Though, if I'm confined indoors or if I'm in the car, I love a good thunderstorm. Nothing is better than sitting near the window and watching lightning light up the sky. It's just beautiful.

Exactly this. I can't even remember the last time we had a thunderstorm here, though.. It doesn't even rain that often any more. And i love rain.

As for the poll, cloudy for me!

Similar situation in which I am not fond of sunny weather, my eyes aren't customed to work through sunlight or otherwise bright surfaces anymore. I also don't like the heat, my head releases enough of it as it is.

I wouldn't mind having a STRANGE ATMOSPHERE though...but as it tends to not happen, Cloudy gets the vote.

It depends on the temperature, I prefer the sun only when it's cold (70F and below). If it's warm/hot, then I would enjoy a cloudy day.

Ideally, sun AND rain. But that's too rare of an occurence.

But cloudy without water is no good. I pick mystery weather, assuming it means "sun with a bunch of clouds" or alternatively red sky with evil eyes raining fire or something.

Then there's also how I preffer a clear sky at night... which technically would be "sunny" at day.

It's an enigma

Very much overcast with a temperature of around 70-75.

It's like... the perfect day for me.

I've taken to like sunny days a lot more. Especially during springtime, when it's not too hot outside.

Simply gorgeous.

I hate snow because if it's snowing, it means it's very cold outside and I will hate being outside overall. I also hate rain, but rain when it's 80-90 outside is nice

Sun. Every time.

Especially because I'm naturally Vitamin D deficient, I need all the sun I can get
