@trinsec if so, this is all your fault, lol. this low pressure came from the UK.

@thor Nope, Netherlands. Not that far off. We can collectively blame the UK!

@trinsec has it been raining in the Netherlands for 3 months too? Oslo has been like that.

@thor Not 3 months straight. But it has been pretty damn wet regularly. I can barely remember a day where it didn't rain.

@trinsec i mean, i'm putting it to a point. there *have* been non-rainy spots here and there, but i was beginning to have trouble remembering what a clear sky looked like... someone jokingly said "i can't handle this! i'm not from Bergen!" (Bergen being a city in Norway that gets insane amounts of rain)

@thor Hehehehe. I can't handle this! I'm not a Brit!

@trinsec @thor
Probably it's the rainy season of europe

@mur2501 @trinsec europe isn't *supposed* to have a rainy season. that's the somewhat unnerving thing...

@thor Well, supposedly we should have snow now, but I've not seen snow for a few years... And last time it was only 2 days of snow.
@mur2501

@trinsec @mur2501 i mean, what we're doing here is basically joking about what we all know is a result of global warming, but i guess it's gallows humour. humour is a protection mechanism in some cases.

@thor I'll just think that I'll have a beach resort at my house in a decade or so. And I don't even have to move for it!
@mur2501

@trinsec
unless you first get drowned under e-waste and other garbage before the sea comes to you.
@thor

@mur2501 We'll just make a floating island of that plastic soup and live on there!

Giant plastic rafts!

WATERWORLD! HERE WE COME!

(And us Dutchies have a natural advantage in this!)

@thor

@trinsec @thor
meanwhile north India is freezing like hell.

@thor @trinsec
Here 4 months of rainy season is fixed from june to october when it rains like hell without stopping.
so crabs, frogs, snails and snakes are seen all around

@mur2501 Is it really
4 monts /non-stop/ rain?
@thor

@trinsec
kind of, atleast for the Western Ghats which receives most of the rain in India and the other side gets just a little
Western Ghats are a barrier for moisture laden clouds.
@thor

@mur2501 Is at the other side of the western ghats mountains dry?

If so, you're living on the wrong side of that mountain range!

@thor

@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

@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?

@thor

@trinsec
The north east India is where the moisture laden clouds from the Bay of Bengal meet the foothills of the Himalayas and hence the rain.
@thor

@mur2501

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.

@thor

@trinsec
my town receives around 1400mm each month in the rainy season
@thor

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

@thor

@mur2501

Your town is singletownedly able to flood my whole country.

@thor

@mur2501 @trinsec that's pretty heavy. Bergen gets 2250 mm per year. but it has a little rain for 242 of 365 days a year, so basically, it's raining a little all the time.
