Oh man, as a southerner stuck in California, I cannot tell you how much I miss rain. And especially thunderstorms[1].
(if you want a few recommendations) I love how the drops wipe away the moisture on the "window"; in my experience the droplets won't fall perfectly straight: they get perturbed by the smaller droplets on the window (what they're wiping away). Subsequent drops in the "tracks" left by earlier drops will fall faster, since there aren't any smaller droplets to hold them up. They also speed up as they get bigger, and wind will cause them to move together.
Can I get a thunderstorm?
Also, thank you — I'd long forgotten the name of the song and the artist; I'd been looking for "Primavera" by Ludovico Einaudi [2] for a while now. (another Ludovico Einaudi piece was on the page)
[1] I would have never guessed that a place "couldn't" have thunderstorms; I've been in Silicon Valley for four years now, and there's been barely anything that passes for a thunderstorm. (For anyone in the bay area going "we have thunderstorms, sometimes!"… it isn't the same.)
I've occasionally wondered if people in the south aren't more religious because the weather (the south has thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, the bay area has… lots of sun.) isn't literally putting the fear of God in them.

- 3pt14159 12y agoLudovico Einaudi is one of my favorite modern composers. Oltremare is fantastic. I actually found him first from a hilarious youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn6qSM-UYBs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn6qSM-UYBs which lead me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoaPhxNubL0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoaPhxNubL0 such a great modern composer.

The author of Boodler also has an iOS app [3] specifically for the thunderstorm.
