@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
https://ruralindiaonline.org/articles/in-thane-the-rain-has-gone-rogue/

@thor

@trinsec @thor
The articles is very good at describing that the poor farmers who don't even know any word like 'climate change' are feeling each and every effect of it very accurately and extremely.

@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.

@thor

@trinsec
now the family of farmers are only been able to have one meal a day as they have to somehow do with the little harvest of grain till the next rainy season
@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.

@thor
A drizzling rain 242 days a year?

Ye gods, that's probably worse.
I'm not decided yet...

POURING rain or -drizzling- rain..

Eh, I'll stay where I am. ;)
