Not really. The obvious intuitive answer is to run. And the scientific research based answer is also to run. They've made an obvious and simple thing unnecessarily complex which is not a good thing. There is no counter-intuitive solution as initially speculated by this video.
@@SoulDelSol Compare walking through a puddle with running through a puddle. that 40% wetness you save by running, now became 60% more wetter than walking when the puddle splashes up and make you look like you wet your pants.

@@SoulDelSol I think they meant on a broader scale, not just this video; asking more and more questions to seemingly simple things shows theyre not as surface level as you would think.

The way I see it is that the feeling of getting pelted by raindrops is the unpleasant part, not merely being wet. So I run, not to get less wet, but to lessen the amount of time I'm spending in the rain.

Dude if you run you hit the same drops at higher velocity ( unless in equilibrium with wind speed in your direction), i.e, more pelting

Mythbusters tested this and found the opposite. I'm surprised you didn't mention that in the video. They had both presenters walk through controlled rain in a warehouse both with and without wind. They then weighed the cotton overalls to see how much weight they had gained during the walk/run. They found that running actually increased the amount of water collected by almost twice the amount across the entire 100 foot course.
That was actually proven to be factually incorrect I don't remember exactly how but I recall upon revisiting it they discovered the tests weren't run properly or something

1:33 even though they both get wet at the same rate, running would still allow you to stay dryer. The person walking actually gets twice as wet as the runner because at the point they’d been hit 4 times, the runner had only been hit twice.
Ay but you see when you run you could slip which hurts your speedrun when getting out of the rain
it really is about the time you spend in the rain, moving faster means you also move into the trajectory of other raindrops faster. if you walk 10s in the rain you are drier than if you run 10s in the rain and standing still for 10s in the rain means you are the driest out of the 3 options. However if you need lets say 100m to get home, you should run because you spend the least time in the rain.

If you watched the video you should know that if you're running in the same direction and with the same speed as the wind blows you'll get less wet. Because you cancel droplets' momentum. Also you don't even need to remember if it's discussed in the video.

For me, when it just started to rain, the rain droplets are smaller so it's better to Sprint immediately than getting caught by bigger rain drops.

Quite a good study.
Separating the rain that meets you from the front and the rain that falls on you from above, you meet the same volume of water-laden air from the front nomatter how fast you go, but the rain falling on you from above is proportional to the time you take in the rain.
Risk assessment for running in the rain might be humorous!
Here is another take from my MIT freshman physics class. You get wet two ways: (1) Drops that fall onto you, and (2) Drops that you run into. For drops that you run into, it doesn't matter how fast you run or walk: you sweep out the same volume either way. (A note in here suggests crab walking, walking sideways; that will reduce the amount you sweep out.) But the drops that fall onto you increases the longer you are in the rain, so running will reduce the amount that falls onto you. Conclusion: run, don't walk.
Normal people: "Should I walk or run through the rain?"

Just downvote this video and go watch the original done by Minute Physics
Using simple analogies, we can see that there are two components to the amount of water that hits you. And they can be reduced to one, but it may or may not answer your question.
1) Remember those cartoons where the hero runs through a fog bank, and leaves a hero-shaped tunnel in it? That is what actually happens when you go from the bus to your office's front door in the rain. So imagine that the rain stops falling, and just hangs in mid-air like a mist. No matter what speed you take, you will leave a person-shaped tunnel in that mist. All of the water - no more, and no less - that was in that tunnel is now on you; and specifically, on the front of your clothes. Your back, and the top of your head, stay dry.
2) But the rain actually is falling. So now imagine that you can balance a bowl on your head, even while running, that is just as wide as your head. The rain that would fall on your head is captured in this bowl. The amount of water it collects depends on the time you spend in the rain, the rate at which it is falling, and the angle at which it hits you (which depends on your speed). So running is better for the bowl. The front of your clothes still get wet, but maybe not by as much because some (but not all) of the water in the bowl would have hit you.
Now imagine that you can fly; or more precisely, run or walk on air as if it was the ground. When you fly from your helicopter to a tenth-floor window, you will still leave a person-shaped tunnel in the mist I described (#1 above). But now the tunnel behind you is "falling" with the rain as you move forward. The helicopter-side of the tunnel might be at third-floor level when you reach the tenth-floor window. The water you collect is still the water that (was) in that tunnel, but its shape is harder to describe.
The fact that the rain is falling makes the shape, at any point in the tunnel, a tall, stretched-out version of you. Like what you see in a fun-house mirror that makes you look ten feet tall. Your speed determines how "tall" it is - walking makes it taller than running. But the horizontal distance is still the same. So the taller the shape is, the more water you collect. Speed it also affects where the water hits you - the angle the tunnel makes with the ground is the same as the angle where the water hits you.
Ignoring wind (which also affects the shape of the tunnel), walking always means that more water hits you, but it hits you primarily on the top of your head. Running means less water, but almost all of it on the front of your clothes. Walking with an umbrella, even a too-small one, significant;y reduces wetness.
Enjoyed this video immensely.
My experiences, running is worse, my upper thighs saturate, then water flows down legs, resulting areas such as inside shoes getting wet. When I walk, may be actually more soaked but feet stay dry. I'd argue, that at some duration of exposure in relation to intensity, it becomes measurably same but, what gets wet? Including a variable of waterproof shoes...
Less time in rain means less wet, run 🤡🤡🤡
Just tried riding a bicycle in a rain - awful, cold and very wet experience.
I think there's also a question to be had about the whole process of getting wet. Maybe I'm mistaken but it always appeared to me that clothes get soaked more badly by prolonged exposure to water compared to a quick splash. Meaning, even if running would cause you to get hit by more drops, you might still not end up entirely as wet as if you were to give the water time to seep in.
That’s a completely separate issue. The issue at hand is simply how many raindrops touch you. Not “stick.”
@@carpballet The issue is wetness, which is all about the "stick"
@@michaeledmunds7266 Actually no. The issue isn’t “wet.” (The title is misleading). It’s about how many raindrops touch you. Wetness can be completely avoided using hydrophobic material.
@@carpballet Why would you care how many drops hit you unless they'll get you wet?
@@michaeledmunds7266 It’s mostly a thought experiment. Meant to exercise the brain. Practical applications are near zero. Except maybe to a few engineers or designers. And as fodder for CZcams “scientists.”
Wow this video was really helpful!
Just wish I watched it before I decided to stand in the pouring rain for 7 minutes and 17 seconds watching this.
I wanted to discover the risks of running in the rain as one day I ran for 30 minutes under a heavy rain in my way home but half in the way I was short in breath because of the moisture and my homezone is a hot village so the air pressure was making me hard to breathe, provoking my muscles to feel heavier the more that I ran and I almost collapsed under the rain but was able to make it home with a lot of exhaustion, went directly to bath and sleep right after for the rest of the day
Thankfully I didn't get so sick but it was an experience that made me fear running under any rain in a hot zone and I hope everyone takes care taking this in consideration before thinking to sprint in the rain
your scenario started off with it just starting to rain, "usually" when it has just started to rain, it is not raining that hard, so running early would keep you drier by spending less time when it starts raining harder.
scientists spent millions in public money but forgot to apply their common sense.
@@m2coy they obviously meant it raining cats and dogs since the beginning
@@Kevinho2428 ah yes i seemed to have lost my common sense also lol
@@m2coy yes but is ok
I’ve seen rain which didn’t start mild
There's probably a middle ground with the speed there, too. Perhaps running as fast as you are able without getting sweaty would be best. The increase in body temperature from running will help dry you faster, but obviously being a sweaty mess at your destination isn't ideal.
Really, the actual answer here is to be a responsible person and check the weather forecast so you know to bring an umbrella, if needed.
This
@@Ganara426 Nope. You're not going to get sweaty when you're already wet. You do not get sweaty because you're running, you get sweaty because your temperature has risen and body wants to cool itself down. Rain is already doing that, cooling you down better than sweating ever could. Most likely even lower temperature than it should be, so running would be optimal to keep yourself warm.
Thanks Mythbusters for giving this creator free content without even getting mentioned :)
This is the perfect video to watch at midnight and I am doing exactly that.
This doesn’t take into account splash factor. When you’re running in the rain, you absolutely soak your lower extremities. A brisk walk seems to be the sweet spot
Well that depends on if there's even a body of water.
But splash factor would actually be a good thing, supporting running, when you are splash, most of the water is distributed and not always penetrate deep in your clothes, helping you dry faster and not come soaked (this only is valid when its a soft-medium rain, when its pouring yeah... yo uare getting soaked)
what if you fly trough the rain
He actually mentioned it at the end of the video.

It's amazing how long science will spend time to resolve such trivial questions with complex answer... I wonder how much more of these there is out there. Funny and curious at the same time.
that is kind of the point of science. its not a entity but a process of assuming something and then testing the theory to determine results and nature of the subject.
It's Not trivial, It's really useful. I remembered all the rsin pstterns and Walk/Run in a way that No single rsin drop fsll on me.

Thank you.

Im glad the video mentioned an optimal speed. Ive always been able to just kind of feel for that speed. However, once the rain is heavy enough and the wind starts rapidly changing direction, it no longer matters because that optimal speed isn't going to be possible. Try moving your hand down the stream of water from a shower head. You'll eventually find the speed of the water and feel less resistance and less water actually touches your hand.
A runner and walker approaching a shelter from the rain hit as many rainrops in a given period of time. So when the runner reaches shelter, he is just as wet as the walker, but that's as wet as he will get (not counting sweat.) At that same point in time, the walker is still in the rain, and will continue getting wetter until he also reaches the shelter.
A couple other hypotheticals would include, if the rain intensity increased, or decreased in the allotted time, and how that would affect the walker and or runner. I.e. if one ran for shelter, and then upon arrival the rain stopped, while the walker was still in route, the walker would end up dryer. However, if the intensity increased, the runner would end up dryer.... Love your videos!
Given that most people are faced with this choice when a storm is just coming in and it's just _starting_ to rain, I'd say in most cases the intensity is going to increase, possibly by quite a lot.
Simple solution: play Touhou and learn how to dodge rain drops.
Have you also considered the "splash factor" when running through puddles? That could increase your shoes and socks getting drenched. I know this was mentioned toward the end, but was not explained in the voiceover.
I’ve always heard that speed walking is the best way to get through rain because you get to you destination faster but the rain doesn’t soak in as much
Braniac Science Abuse with Richard Hammond covered this really well.
If there’s wind, and it’s behind you, run, if it’s in your face, walk.
The video I always needed
Mythbusters tackled this myth and concluded that you do get wetter from running as opposed to walking
YES! this is probably the only episode of myth busters I remember because of the conclusion and I can't believe It wasn't mentionned in the video! how the hell did they conclude the opposite ? with actual testing
I saw this episode and it's the reason I clicked on this video. Mythbuster got something wrong, or at least incomplete, because they measured the difference between walking or running FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. But that doesn't answer the question, because if you run you'll be much less time in the rain. So the problem is way more complex than what they tested there.
@@leonardocerqueiradias6168 hum, i know it's been a while, but I thought it was the same distance, they had sprinklers and had to go from one end to the other, but I'm not sure, i'll have to check it again
Running under the rain is more of a reflex action to me. I don't stress myself up trying to figure out rain speed, direction etc. Just sprint as much as possible
I would run even if it's not raining 😂😎
It's also a good excuse for a good run without goombas looking at you as if you had shoes on your ears
Okay so, Run in the rain, and if it's blowing at you from behind, run at speed with it.
If it starts to rain, I prefer to run to get to my destination before the weather get worse and it rains more, but if it's already raining then I prefer to walk
Also, when it rains, there are puddles. Running across puddles will make you wet regardless of wind or amount of rain. So there's that.
walking across puddles would mean you guarante 100% your shoes and socks are gonna be filled with water

You forgot the obvious 0:14 into the video: _"you feel a drop of what is about to be cascading sheets of rain"_ Start running for shelter before the drop becomes "cascading sheets" and you might beat the drenching, perhaps completely.
Your Videos always make my day!
😊 Thanks
I remember when Mythbusters covered this one. I was surprised by the answer.
Late because I just randomly got this in my recommended, but I remember that episode and I was scrolling through the comments looking for someone to mention it. I guess it just shows the age of it when the question is asked again and barely anybody remembers or mentions mythbusters
@@staryo1726 i was looking for someone to mention it as well.
Yea. They came to the conclusion that walking was better. But okay.
The reason for running is evolutionary. You feel rain and you run for cover to avoid the flash flood.
I saw a take on this on Minute Physics, its interesting to hear a new perspective on it
Finally, someone talked about this
Actually this seems like a logic answer although i tried it on myself too.. one other thing i noticed is that if its cold and rainy and you run through the rain, it will pump ul your metabolism and so the water sucked up by the clothes will disappear sooner so you dry faster after getting wet👍
While running it’s no about getting wet,it’s about getting warmer
Watching this while getting rained 🌧️☔
I've always wondered this!
I’ve always thought about this in extremes. If the rain was a constant, and you could choose to move as fast as a literal snail or as fast as a speeding bullet to get to a dry area, which one would you choose with the intention of staying as dry as possible?
If the rain was coming at you from behind at a 90° angle and at the speed of a snail, the snail would get less wet than the bullet.
Don‘t forget the cold making it rain, and me wanting to get inside quicker to warm up
i love that rain drop sfx so much
Easiest solution:
When raining go outside, just one step away from the door without cover.
Scenario #1: step back, sit down inside, wait one hour.
Scenario #2: keep standing outside (without cover) for an hour.
Hypothesis: if running does not matter you would be similarly wet in both scenarios.
Answer at around 6:00
I don't really like the idea of running top speed through the rain, since it seems like there is a much higher chance of slipping.
I love the closing argument being "Physical Exertion is horrible, I don't want to do it, and you can't make me." 10/10
Hoodie: You thought you could get my hair wet?
“Nah 💀”
People run in the rain. not to get less wet but, to be wet for a shorter time.
Also the problem with running is that you may catch a cold if running for too long of a distance if you don't recover for a while in warmer place.
According to me the greater the distance, the slower you should run, but the slowest speed should be your typical slow jogging.
I always run when the first drops start falling so that I can get to shelter as soon as possible because the rain is likely to get heavier after the first minute or so. These equations are only assuming a constant rainfall.
this is a good one surprised it doesnt have more views yet
When i was a child....i thought i can dodge the rain while running🤣🤣
Schoolboy me running to make sure my books don't get wet : 10% less wet means a lottttt!!!
The flash in the rain avoiding every drop of water to stay dry. "Is this a selfish use of my powers?"
I was under the rain while watching this, so I decided to stand still so I could get less wet. Now my phone screen is not working
To be fair, I'd much more like to know how they determined the concept of wetness. Assuming several rainfalls will fall vertically onto your shoulder one after another, they'll start to repeatedly hit the same spots and depending on the surface repellent properties of your clothes, water droplets will preferably run down the already wettened surfaces creating specific surface areas on your clothes that will experience higher water exposure rates than others. This in return implies, that running itself, which puts emphasis on large movements of ones bodies' excrements, will increase the probability of being hit by raindrops from different angles, increasing the overall wet surface area of your clothes at spots that are less exposed to the rain (e.g., under your arms) and thus the overall wetness factor, as the water droplets have a higher wettened surface area to distribute onto. Additionally, the water droplet's flowing course will be erratically altered during large body movements, which in return shows the importance of assessing the full extent of every individual movement at a given speed. If however rather absorbant clothes are worn, the water is likely to spread along the fibre more equally and in such a case, the angle of the impingent raindrop would be less of a deciding factor than the overall water mass that comes into contact with the clothes. Hence, the exposure time to rain becomes dominates the clothe's wetness.
you could completely cover yourself (head and hair too) in clothes previously weighted when dry, then walk/run in the rain and weight the clothes again, the extra weight should be entirely that of water.
*"You get more wet, if you run."*
*"You get less wet, if you walk instead."*
*"But if you stay still, you Will get even less wet!"*
This man has uncovered all the secrets of the element water.
I do agree that I get little to no wet when I'm standing under something...
Somebody: do you think you should walk or run in the rain?
Me: *umbrella*
Me who always has my bag with me when I go out, and always has an umbrella in that bag: I'm glad I don't need to worry about all this.
Great topic: is it a good idea and how efficient is it to turn the stove to maximum then the correct temp or to set it to correct in the first plaxe
If you have something on it while heating it makes no difference because the energy is converted at the same speed for the same mass. If you heat first and then put something on it it would make sense to have it higher first because then the higher difference has a middle which is higher than the temperature on the right thing. All in all It makes not a great difference especially if you cook water
Depends.
Run when I'm happy, Walk when I'm sad
