Luckily the west of Ireland was left out where parts can get up to 225 days a year or rain.

This map would be so cool to see in color gradient. The capitals don’t really represent the countries as totals, for example, Groningen in the North of the Netherlands is averaged around 200 days while Amsterdam is significantly less so. As mentioned by others it’s even more extreme in parts of Ireland and Scotland and other parts of Europe. Would be cool to see a more extensive map.

Brussels beats Glasgow. Who’d have thought?

Brussels is only slightly more rainy than Bergen, Norway (with 201 rainy days on average). And Bergen is usually considered the rainiest city in Europe. I’m surprised.

I am struggling to believe the Brussels number. It’s surrounded by cities which have comparable days of rainfall and the geographical specifities are not much different than those cities, nor is Brussel closer to the sea than Amsterdam. What is the source?

Cardiff is the wettest city in the UK with 1152mm rainfall, however the very wettest inhabited place in England is Seathwaite, Cumbria which gets around about 3,300 mm per year. Rainfall is even higher in unpopulated upland areas in Scotland.

Seems like someone in the past mixed up Brussels and London. Thanks for being a myth buster

Santiago de Compostela, just an hour north of Pontevedra is far rainier — looked it up and it was 139.5 days last year — but was surprised it wasn’t more.

Why not include the Norwegian west coast where the Gulf Stream hits?

I am pretty sure Bucharest is not where the dot indicates…

Do people in Paris, Berlin, Stockholm complain about the grayness & seasonal affective disorder?
Many people in the US complain non-stop about dreary winter weather in the midwestern US, yet it’s at the latitude of Spain & Italy and gets more sun than Northern Europe. Are we just spoiled by the SouthWest?

I’m glad I grew up on the west coast of Norway. I’m always pleasantly surprised by the weather everywhere else I go.

Cardiff is a poor choice for Wales. In the northwest, we even have a small rainforest. It’s extremely wet there.

What is the source for this ? This is completely off for Copenhagen, the average precipitation is 167 days per year not 102. Source [https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainy-days,copenhagen,Denmark](https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainy-days,copenhagen,Denmark)
Also London [https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainy-days,London,United-Kingdom](https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainy-days,London,United-Kingdom)
