no runnin in the rain

so that you dun get wetter, according to someones theory, as the surface area exposed per unit time is smaller. HUH? that depends on many factors i think.

first, there is the frequeny with which the rain hits you. heavier rain, wetter u get. second, the duration u spend in the rain. longer wetter.

hence, degree of wetness α freq of rain contact
α time in rain

subsequently, we can break down the first component.
freq of contact
- actual speed of falling rain
- surface area exposed - speed of movement (faster, more probability ur body hits the rain)
- actual SA of body (big, more area for rain to fall on)

hence,
wetness α speed of falling rain
α speed of u moving
α ur body SA
α time in rain
α other factors (like luck, wind blowing rain away when u happen to b there, or possible correlation between big SA and running slower etc)

as can be seen, there are numerous factors as to how wet u can be besides ur own movement. I mean, intuitively, would anyone with a gd mind walk slowly under cats and dogs, when rain is thick like a bucketful drowned on you?
of course, however, if it is jus a slight drizzle, then walking will work better.
