With all the rain we are having, what do you do on a rainy day?

Go out, and bemoan the cost of good waterproof jackets and trousers. If I've got time, and there's not a gale blowing, I go to the woods, set up a tarp, and have a brew.

Over here with rain comes wind, so umbrellas last 5 seconds before they turn inside out and drag you down the street.

This. I got a new umbrella recently, been excited to try it but the wind would kill it in two minutes. It's a waterproof over my normal clothes for me!

I normally jump in the shower with all my clothes on, then go about what I typically would have done if sunny. If I do go outside, I don't want the weather to have the satisfaction that its ruined my day.

I have to go out because I have to go to work.

I usually stare out the window and think about moving to Australia.

I’m coming over from the US in mid May. Can you stop the rain by then for a few weeks. Thanks in advance.

We'll all be snowed in by then.🙄

Rain only stops the cricket. Yet our nation's entire preoccupation with the weather and its exaggerated impact on our lives stems from this single point.

Stare out the window and wonder what the sky looks like without cloud…

Where in the UK are you? It’s been pretty dry down Bristol way for about a week at this point, a few odd spots aside.

I bought some waterproofs for my walks. Still wouldn't venture out cycling in the wet and miss reading in my garden

I thought it's been fairly dry lately, sure a few showers but not bad enough to stay in (admittedly today washing in on the line so I'm clearly in a different place to you) However if I want to go out and it's raining I just dress appropriately then when I get home warm shower and change

The same as when sunny just with a coat, hat and wellies.

I'm not one for going out when it's raining but my wife and kids enjoy it.
