Om... bro... phobia.
Ombrophobia is the fear of rain. The origin of the word ombro is Greek (meaning rain) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). Ombrophobia is considered to be a specific phobia. I'm not sure whether or not one can be subjected to geographic and temporal ombrophobia, for example, the fear of rain in the Maldives for the 14 days following October the 26th, but if this is the case both Sims and I are psychotically ombrophobic.
Treatment, apparently, can take the form of hypnoanalysis, neuro-linguistic programming or energy psychology. Sadly they didn't mention any Ayurvedic remedies which would have been a bonus.
