Mahabaleshwar in rain or sun?

Whenever you ask anyone about when to visit Mahabaleshwar , then you will get the answer that its better to visit it after few rains. But if you want to go there to enjoy the scenery and not the weather then better not go during the rains.
Coz when it rains then you don't get time to go out and roam around. I learnt i the hard way when I was stranded in car for 3-4 hours as it kept raining. Thankfully it stopped and we were able to roam around for sometime.
So al of you people who want to roam around Mahabaleshwar without getting wet then go before the rains!!!
