@thor Likewise here. Very rainy all day, and my patio furniture were all blown aside.
@thor Nope, Netherlands. Not that far off. We can collectively blame the UK!
@thor Not 3 months straight. But it has been pretty damn wet regularly. I can barely remember a day where it didn't rain.
@thor Hehehehe. I can't handle this! I'm not a Brit!
@trinsec
ofcourse it's drier on the other thought not a total desert. Also the doil on this side is red and not rich in minerals while on the other side it's black and very ideal for various types of farming.
I like been wet, rainy season is my favourite sobI am on the right side
clearly seen in the map, the western coast receives alot of rain.
@thor
After checking around a little, I've come to the following conclusion for my country:
We have on average about 800mm a year of precipitation. That hasn't changed significantly over time.
My area is a little over 190 days a year some sort of precipitation. That means that every month at least half of it has had some sort of rain/hail/snow/whatever.
It's also getting extremer. Summers are starting to be extremely dry while winters are getting wetter than ever.

Here's an article describing a farmer distressed by the rains in a village near my town

@mur2501 Yeah, I skimmed through it a bit. Looks like a pretty hard life at the moment.
Even our technologically advanced farmers are having a lot of trouble dealing with the drought during the summers.
For example, we got tiny potatoes this year. Not really a huge issue, since they're edible and we get our food. And likely they get compensated too by the EU. But it goes to show that it affects us all worldwide.
@mur2501
I'm of opinion that everywhere needs to adapt in rigorous ways.
For example, I'm living in a country that's half below sea level. We'll probably face floods in the future. So we have to make an intricate network of waterways.
See, the trend was that in the last century we had been changing canals into roads. Filled 'em up and made cars go over them.
I think we need to change them back into canals again, control the water so they won't control us in the near future.
I think the same concept applies to your country. Maybe you need a canal network so that in case of too much rain the water can go away easier, and in case of too little rain there's water available.
Not sure how well that'd work if it's bloody hot and stuff could evaporate, but I'm thinking along those lines of drastic changes of infrastructure to survive the climate change.
@mur2501 Ok yeah, that's really a shitton of rain. I'd have moved away from that! 😋
What about that area in the far east? Taht seems to be a perpetual rainy area as well. Another mountain range blocking the clouds?
