And honestly, it’s likely there’s a 20 to 60 percent chance of rain for the next five days. So if you’re about to leave your dorm, apartment or house with your rain boots, rain coat and umbrella, don’t forget your iPod. Nothing makes a rainy day better than some songs to match the situation. Rainy day music should sooth the mind and soul; it should feel warm and refreshing with a healing power of sorts.
