That's pretty good definitely top 5, but I'll go with a quiet night after it snows and not even the plows are out yet.

it has been years since last time I've seen snow irl.
The absolute silence of fresh snow. Heaven.
Yes this is it for me. Quiet winter night after fresh snow, with the orange glow of incandescent lights (not LEDs, fuck that). Being able to make the first footprints in the snow.
I like the first big night snow of the year when the sky turns pink from all the light pollution reflecting off the flakes.
I don’t like snow or winter though. :)
THIS!
I can hear the beautiful crackling thunder.
Now you can see it too.

Give me the full storm. Thunder, lightning, rain pouring down like we've angered the gods.
And a nice glassed in balcony to sit in to watch the whole thing unfold. Perfection
Also, your hot beverage of choice.
I miss Midwestern storms. Wind that'll take you off your feet, the smell of tornadoes, the storm head like there's an ocean in fhe sky and the world's about to end… Gives me something fierce of a headache but beautiful as it gets.
I love the pnw and overcast and slightly rainy is great, but without a little attempted murder how am I supposed to feel like the sky loves me?
Moving from the midwest to PNW was weird this way, it was midway through the summer before I looked at the sky and thought, we've never had a storm here, not a flash of lightning or a rumble of thunder. Just pissy rain every morning that clears up into a lovely, chilly afternoon.
Sunny, snow covered, and cold AF.
That's gorgeous
Thank you. It's a photo taken from my deck.
Nothing better than when you can smell the cold!
This photo smells like petrichor, and I love it.
Perfect in every way. I didn't realize I was a 'rain person' until I moved from horrifying sunny Southern California to Northern (in the mountains). The first fall/winter dumped around 100 inches and literally washed out about 15 feet of driveway that fell into the creek below.
Best winter ever.
As someone who works outside. Absolutely no thanks.
Yep. This just reminded me of hiking in New Mexico during monsoon season. Beautiful, clear mornings. Setting up camp and eating at night in torrential rains.
As someone who works inside... Why the fuck would anyone want this? It's depressing AF.

I fucking miss thunderstorms since moving to the pacific northwest. They are sadly very rare here
We had one night a couple years ago with more lightning than the total I had ever seen in my life before (and since) then. I'm guessing it was like a weak storm in the Midwest.
I remember watching with delight a hell of a thunderstorm rolling in over Elliott Bay sometime between 2018 and 2020, wonder if it was the same one?
Very likely!
It lasted for something like an hour near me (South of Seattle, don't want to be too specific)
Mine is rainy October-November, so essentially now is ideal. 
darkling skies and the scent of rain on the breeze
Give me a nice overcast day at like 5C so I can wear a sweater and I am loving it outside. No sun glare, no sweating, good times.
I can feel the barometric pressure dropping.
The moments before a massive thunderstorm, that feeling of tension just before the heavens break open.
If they don’t already, this person really needs to move to the UK…
One of three, all in Spain:
Almeria. The only desert in Europe, but by the Sea. Probably like Baja California. Dry, mild to hot, but with the sea within minutes.
Granada. Generally mild. Between tall mountains. You can Ski and swim in the sea all in the same day.
The Canary islands, where the weather is not a conversation piece.
Bright and sunny, no clouds, 27°, light breeze
That's definitely #3. I think #1/2 are split between the same weather, but in the far distance as the bright sun overhead warms you up in early spring just enough to spare you the otherwise chill air in spring, and a bright sunny day in the late spring at the beach doing the same for the cool water.
#4 is a bright, clear day in the mountains in the winter, with fresh powder on the ground.
#You don't have to yell!
:P
I am so confused right now. Is the octothorpe an ancient character of font sizing?

Rain in the city at night (or golden hour) is a good one. Makes me feel like I'm a bladerunner
I like that too, or maybe five minutes from that
Tropical rainstorm in a beautiful rainforest aaa 🤤
My favorite is in early spring, just after all the leaves come fully out but before they darken to their summer colors.
Driving/riding through dense woods on a still, sunny day (with the windows down, if in car) everything smells fresh and crisp, and the sun streams through the neon green leaves.
Magical renewal.
Snow. Weeks of snow.
I get this all the time... But it's less appreciable on some random industrial road
Wife and talk about this if we were ever to move outside of Midwest. We both love thunderstorms.
