“Upper” by Andrey Korotich, who produces some nice mood portraits, e.g. Reflection in a Mirror
I have seen this popular photo-art image used in several YouTube videos - nice to have finally found the author!

"Corsican Cats"
A rainy day in Corsica... and the local cats find a great way to spend it. Click the picture for the full story!
(It's been raining in England for what seems like forever - ever since drought warnings and the enforcement of a hosepipe ban....)

Some very nice desktop wallpaper to be found here...
"Venice" (which the artist says he drew from this photo by Monika)
"Milano - Santa Maria Nascente"
"Szczytno in the Rain"
Some of many beautiful watercolours by the Polish-resident artist Minh Dam
Found via this site recommended by Cyrion, who has so many beautiful things on her pages.
When the weather is like this... the only thing is to enjoy it!
A nice image by "alibi", a photographer from Budapest, Hungary who has only just started publishing his work (at least, as far as I can find).

I really like Jesse Cook, and this is a particularly beautiful song with some beautiful images to go with it

One of many fine photographs by Christophe Jacrot, from his portfolio Paris in the Rain (if there's a slow link to France, you may have to wait for all the photos to appear!)
Christophe writes:
In my opinion, there are two ways of capturing the world for a photographer; on the one hand grasping its horror, and on the other sublimating it. I have chosen the second. More specifically, I like the way rain, snow and "bad weather" awaken a feeling of romantic fiction within me (climatic excesses are another topic).
I see these elements as a fabulous ground for photography, an under-used visual universe with a strong evocative power, and with a richness of subtle lights. This universe escapes most of us, since we are too occupied getting undercover. Man becomes a ghostly silhouette wandering and obeying the hazards of rain or of snow.
My approach is deliberately pictorial and emotional.
Found on the always-beautiful pages of my friend expressioniste (Aline).
"Juliana" by the Russian photographer Ludmila (plenAIR), whose other work is well worth checking out

“St Giles in the Rain” by Francis Hamel
A place that brings back many memories for me. The Eagle & Child pub (AKA The Bird & Baby) on St Giles was the hangout of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis among others, who created many memories for many people.
"Summer Rain" by WWWest
It often rains here, but somehow it isn't as enjoyable as this!
Thanks again to my friend chaotiqual, whose pages are always a delight to visit.
"For Grandmother" by Hannah Alexandra (Hannah Bergqvist) - found on the delightful pages of aquieterstorm (Cheryl)
"Canadian rumba flamenco artist Jesse Cook has blended the exotic Spanish music form with elements of new age, jazz, and easy listening on his releases for Narada Records."
Simply glorious music, for rainy weather or any other time.
"Rainy day", one of many beautiful pictures by Alexander Volkov
Another one gratefully swiped from the excellent pages of aquieterstorm. Thanks, Cheryl!
"Winter Rain", a watercolour by Susan Adams
One of many interesting and beautiful items to be found on the pages of chaotiqual.
"Autumn Leaves"
"A Room With A View"
"A Chance Meeting"
Some nice work by Alexei Butirskiy. I like the light effects.
"Music Rain", a beautiful photo by Lyubov Pimenova
