Inspiring Quotes For Rainy Days

Our following selection of rain quotes explores some of the positive emotions wet weather can evoke, such as happiness, peace, and relaxation. While it might be easy to write off this connection as simply the result of pleasant childhood memories, there may actually be a scientific reason why rainy days make people happy. 

According to one theory, rainfall releases negative ions into the air1. Researchers believe these ions boost serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in improved mood and increased feelings of well-being.

Additionally, the sound of rain is relaxing and can help to drown out disruptive noises, providing a sense of calm. So next time you feel blue on a rainy day, don't be too quick to write it off as "just the weather."

Let the sound of the rain remind you it just might be that Mother Nature knows exactly what she's doing before the bright sun reappears. Take motivation from these inspiring rain quotes.

Rain Quotes Appreciating The Beauty Of Nature And The Weather

Our rain quotes might remind us of the distinct, earthy smell accompanying the first rain after a long dry spell. That scent has a name: petrichor. Petrichor is caused by a compound called geosmin, produced by certain soil bacteria. 

When rain falls, it disperses the bacteria and releases the geosmin into the air. The word petrichor comes from the Greek Petros, meaning "stone," and ichor, meaning "the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods."  

Nature is an excellent source of inspiration, so if you have time to sit down and connect with nature, do that. It will do wonders for your state of mind. Read on through these rain quotes to inspire your connection with nature

Emotional Rain Quotes & Captions To Make You Think

The popular nursery rhyme "Rain, Rain Go Away" has been a staple of children's literature for generations. But where did it come from? The earliest known version of the rhyme was published in 1686 in a book of children's verse called Mother Goose's Melodies. 

However, the version most familiar to modern audiences was first recorded in 1881 by James Orchard Halliwell. In the early twentieth century, Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields adapted the rhyme into a song, becoming even more popular.

Today, "Rain, Rain Go Away" remains a beloved part of many childhoods - and a reminder that, sometimes, all we need to chase away the blues is a little bit of music to chase all the rain away.
