Sure. It’s raining. Nothing to worry about. Don’t let it get you down. According to the Brolly Institute, which researches into everything that goes on under umbrellas, “Whenever it rains there are still just as many chances to be happy as on any other kind of day.” And we can prove it to you. There are some places in the world which suffer unending downpours of rain. The place where rain comes pelting down the most is located in Colombia which, curiously enough, goes by the name of Lloró. Hard to believe that that name means “weeping tears” in Spanish, but there you are, I guess it is as if there were tears continuously pouring from the clouds above. But, in any case, we do not want you to weep, but rather we want you to enjoy yourself in the pouring rain. And with that aim in mind, we offer you a a collection of Kukuxumusu umbrellas which are filled with fun and color.

The people of Lloró in Colombia enjoy some laughs just like people in any other part of the world and they are accustomed to the rain, just like the citizens in some of the European cities with the highest rainfalls, such as Bergen (NORWAY), Geneva (SWITZER.), Bremen (GERMANY), Sarajevo (BOSNIA) or Amsterdam (HOLLAND). Whenever you think of Amsterdam do you ever think that it is the fifth wettest city in Europe? I’ll bet you don’t…

The fact is, the rain is not to blame for the widespread prevalence of the hackneyed phrase about a rainy day being a sad day….A study carried out by Paul Dolan, a professor in the Faculty of Scientific Behaviour at the London School of Economics, finds that levels of happiness in places with lots of sunshine are similar to those places which have lots of rainfall. Therefore, we must conclude that sunshine does not make us any happier nor does rainfall make us any sadder. And here at Kukuxumusu we certainly believe that our attitude to life on a rainy day can be just as positive as on a sunny day.

The best remedy against those sad wet days

If your outlook on a gray day is as fond as it is dangerous we would suggest the Kukuxumusu Bocasdrac umbrella it is as transparent as a person with no secrets, useful for seeing well and which will allow you to be seen in urban settings.

If you need to fight against the grayness of those wet days or against the monotony and sameness of the streets and people during those days of toil and travail, we would suggest you use the Forestán umbrella. We have adorned it with the colors of Nature in greens, blues and reds to show that you do not forget the beauty of Nature and wildlife even on a wet gray day. It can make you feel that you are surrounded by Nature.

But rain is not bad in itself. The rhythmic sound of the falling rain on your umbrella can be just as relaxing as having a fish bowl at home… have your realized that there are some people who use the rain to relax in? Did you know that there are videos of ten hours in length on YouTube with just the continual sound of falling rain on umbrellas which can produce a feeling of relaxation? You don’t believe me? Just watch…

We would also suggest gray umbrellas for gray days with our typical cunning and suggestive message that is a characteristic of ours: our large-size Hitchcook umbrella which we dedicate to all those fans of knives that do not kill. Knives that can serve to spread some strawberry jam or creamy butter.

The next time you get a ” torrential downpour” you now know that you shouldn’t let it worry you and you should just go out and let in rain as you enjoy yourself and splash about in the pools of water along the streets. Visit our online collection of umbrellas and you will find a wide selection of brollies to choose from. The manufacturers and makers of these great umbrellas work under the Clima trademark and we work alongside them as we also sing and dance just like Gene Kelly does in the pouring rain.

Gene Kelly would never have given away his umbrella in the pouring rain if he had had a Kukuxumusu one with him.
