The first steady patter of rain can make a free afternoon feel different. You might want a blanket, a movie, a reason to go out or a clear kitchen counter. Those preferences can guide a pleasant plan without telling you anything fixed about your personality.

These ideas are for an ordinary rainy day, not dangerous weather. Check local alerts and follow official instructions. If you hear thunder, move to a substantial building or enclosed metal-topped vehicle and remain sheltered for at least thirty minutes after the last thunder. Indoors, avoid plumbing, plugged-in electrical equipment and windows during the storm. Never walk or drive into floodwater.
