The UK is the 74th wettest country in the world, with on average about
half the rainfall of Australia. We even get less rain than Germany.

I find it hard to believe Australia is wetter than here.

1,304mm per year in Canberra, and 762mm per year in London. (1931 - 1960
averages)

It's not just Canberra either...

1,729.5mm Darwin
1,213.2mm Sydney
964.7mm Brisbane
850.0mm Perth

all the above having more rainfall more than London, leaving just
those below with less.

650.0mm Melbourne
616.2mm Hobart
544mm Adelaide
