It does differ slightly from 'Я не люблю дождь'. The latter just states the fact you don't like it when water falls onto your head from the skies. While ’Я не люблю дожди' is more about you not liking those endless rains during fall
So in terms of connotation this is more like "I do not like the rains [of fall]."
But it does not rain a lot in the autumn in Ukraine or Russia or Belarus.
It's still accusative. The point being made is that using the plural дожди gives the sentence more of a poetic quality, which luckily is the same as using "rains" in English.
Raises the question: why is it "Сентябрь дожди" and not "Дожди Сентября"? English has this construction, but does Russian have it as well?
Yes, just like Spanish "La lluvia" (both the rain in general, or one specific day or moment when it rains) vs "Las lluvias" (a series of different days or moments when it rains)
Not every day. Думаю, что в Санкт-Петербурге или Лондоне дождь идет чаще чем в Москве.
"Dislike" = "don't like"? Should it be accepted as a translation for "не нравится"?
Interesting...here in the U.S. it is spring that is associated with rain, not fall. In the fall it's pumpkins, colored leaves dropping, and football (American-style), but not rain, generally.

Where I live summer is the rainy season, it's what they call "summer rain". So I always learned to associate summer and heat with rain, and winter and cold with dry weather
дождь is inanimate so the accusative form is going to be the same as the nominative.
