What is pluviophile?

A pluviophile is someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainfall. The word itself is derived from the Latin words "pluvia" (rain) and "-phile" (lover).

Key characteristics of a pluviophile include:

  • A deep appreciation for the sensory experience of rain, including the sights, sounds, and smells. This can include finding comfort in the sound of rain on a roof or enjoying the petrichor scent released from the earth.

  • A tendency to feel happier, calmer, or more relaxed during rainy weather. Some pluviophiles find rainy days conducive to introspection and creativity.

  • A possible preference for rainy or overcast weather over sunny weather. While they may enjoy sunshine, they often find a unique appeal in rainy days.
