Who else greatly prefers gloomy, cloudy, drizzly weather?

I live in a pretty temperate climate (Denmark), with a good mixture of weather..so it's not like I've grown tired of some redundant climate or sky-situation.

To me the sunlight represents a bright, piercing disturbance. The heat represents an unbearable feeling of having trapped heat inside me and annoying sweating. I just completely despise the sun.
It's not because I'm pale. I tan easily. Everything else about the sun, apart from getting a tan, I associate with something negative.

On cloudy and rainy days, I feel CLEAN and REFRESHED. I feel like the air is cleaner and my lungs fill with desinfected purified oxygen. Rain and thunderstorms gives me a feeling of calmness and SERENITY.
Rain brings with it the coloring of the landscape. The most aesthetically pleasuring experience for me is seeing rain drops sliding and falling from a green leaf. I love the sound of rain and I love the feeling of rain soaking and cleansing me from the outside throughout.
When it's gloomy and rainy, it feels like the world and the people in it SLOW DOWN. It brings with it a calmness and cozyness that nothing else can quite give me. Soothing relaxation.

I have a deep-rooted dream of one day moving to the Pacific NorthWest and enjoy my favorite climate along with the easy-going American culture and people. Unfortunately, being from Denmark, this is probably a pipe-dream. Until then, rest assure I'm living vicariously through all you lucky SOB's residing in the PNW, by watching movies and TV-series that wouldn't normally interest me, Twilight, Grimm, just to get the gloomy and serene weatherly feel that they have because of the setting (absolutely serious btw). The vast LUSH forests combined with beautiful mountains (something we have NONE OF here in Denmark), is something I wish to once have around me.
