Pluviophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of rain or of being rained on. I had this phobia when I was really young. My parents had to wrap me in a blanket from head to toe and carry me out if it was raining or I would scream and cry like someone was killing me. It passed as I got older and now I love going out when it’s raining. Some people aren’t so lucky and still have to deal with this phobia as adults. You could also say that cats have Pluviophobia.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include shortness
of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall feeling of
dread. Phobias are the most common form
of anxiety disorders.
