Because they look cooler that way.

That's like trying to avoid water during a rainstorm.

WEATHER = rain, snow, windy, cold, warm, sunny\n\nWHETHER = whether she won or lost, it does not matter to me. whether or not I pass the test, I will always know that I tried my very best. whether or not it rains, I am still going to the movies.

Water and impurities in the water cause friction.

They go where there is actual moisture.

Jurassic Park- any or all 3.  They are all great but the first one has all that rain and tropical storm scenes.  I always watch the original on my "rainy days", like I could glance outside and see one walking down the street...\n\nI also love to watch the old black and white film "Rebecca"  with Lawrence Olivier.  It's a Hitchcock, so very dark and mysterious, it fits the rainy day mood.\n\nHave fun, wish it were raining here....

The thunderstorm was a dramatic effect for the movie itself. It has nothing to do with the book itself, and the book mentions nothing about Mad-Eye Moody having any effect whatsoever on the weather. The director added this effect to create a mood.

They're made from water and they feel wet

because wetlands (swamps) act like big sponges and they soak up all the water. that's why we have worse floods in areas where the natural wetlands have been paved over because there aren't wetlands to soak up the water anymore.

The simple answer is because they are roads. Sometimes another name may seem more appropriate, but "road" was the name long before.

Most potholes are caused when water seeps into the pavement surface and eventually freezes, creating pressure as it expands. This weakens the pavement surface and as vehicles pass over, it breaks the area into smaller pieces. \n\nEventually the pieces vacate the cavity and a pothole is created. If a pothole isn't fixed in a timely manner, and additional water invades it, erosion will be accelerated and the pothole will become more pronounced.

If your tyres are worn they will probably be OK in dry weather because there is no need for the tread then (in fact racing tyres for dry weather are completely smooth) although eventually the tyre will fall apart so it's a good idea to replace worn out tyres as soon as you damn well can.\n\nIn the wet it's a different story.  The tread on a tyre pushes water out so that the tyre can maintain contact with the road.  If you have bald tyres the water will get under the tyre and the tyre will actually float causing you to aquaplane and completely lose control of your car.  DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES drive a car that has worn out tyres in the wet, not even to get the tyres replaced (you can wait until it is dry).\n\nOf course in most places it's illegal to drive a car with worn out tyres so if a cop pulls you over and checks the tread they'll be able to order you to get new ones so you may as well just replace what you've got.

It's wet, so bring an umbrella and always wear your rubbers.

Yes you get wetter while you run in the rain - they did an episode on myth busters around it.\n\nMakes sense because you are out there in less time but still moving through the same distance, plus you are splashing water from the ground onto your clothes. And you tend to lean forwards when you run increasing hte amount of surface for water to land on.

It is not just a question of footing.  The players wear cleats and can hold their balance on wet ground.  The reason they do not play in the rain is because of the baseball.\n\nBaseballs are made from cowhide, aka leather, which gets VERY slippery when wet.  Because of this, players cannot keep a grip on the baseball, it becomes to hazardous to the pitchers and the fielders.
