Brings back sweet memories the sound of the drops hitting the bucket on your head, and the splish-splash of the puddles that would send your mother into a raving fit when you returned(just kidding, my mother encouraged us to do so.).

A light sprinkle could be refreshing. A downpour could ruin plans. A storm could be frightening.
Great entry!

My first ms had a lot wind, but no other weather patterns in it, and when people would read it they would say, “Why is it always windy? The poor kid is always getting blown around.”
Now I’m more aware of weather and I especially love your point about how heat makes everyone a little easier to boil over. Bravo.

It was completely the cliched “I’m sad and now it’s raining like the pain in my heart” scene.
