Does "the other side of a window" make sense and do you use it?

I mean it's better to be inside when it's raining.
"I live in a very rainy town. I hate going out when it is raining. We can observe this weather throughout all seasons. It's better to be on the other side of a window and watching people in the rain."
 
Slightly humorous and I like it . :-D
 
We can observe this weather throughout all seasons.

Do you mean "It rains here all year round"?
In general, people don't "observe weather". That's saved for amateur and professional meteorologists.
 
I am guessing that by "It's better to be on the other side of the window" you mean it's better to be inside when it's raining.

Yes, I do. Is "throughout all seasons" unnatural? What do native speakers use instead of "observe" in such sentences?

Yes. Does it also sound unnatural?

We don't really "do" anything to weather. It just happens. I suppose you could say we experience it, but I wouldn't find that very natural.

I wouldn't use "throughout all seasons" either if it's unnatural too.

Well, if that's you mean then it would in my humble opinion be better to say it. Otherwise, people have to guess (as I did).
