First topic message reminder :

It rained today in Adelaide but not enough to put my wet weather gear on, honestly, I can't remember the last time I used it. It got me thinking about how lucky we are here with the weather (unless you want a green garden)

About 6 1/2 years ago I was given a rain gauge and have kept a record ever since:

I know some of you live where 100-200 mm in a day is not unheard of, we've had yearly totals since 2009 of 448mm, 570mm, 469mm, 482mm, 458mm and 442 in 2014. These have been considered pretty good rainfall years for us, for 5 or 6 years prior to that we were in drought and it was much lower.

2014 started of wetter than average but ended drier than average, we had

234 days of no rainfall
53 days of less than 1.0 mm
51 days of 1 to 5 mm
16 days of greater than 5, up to 10 mm
9 days of greater than 10, up to 20 mm
1 day greater than 20, up to 50 mm
1 day greater than 50 mm

Most days under 5mm I wouldn't have to put my wet weather gear on to go to/from work

I reckon we are pretty spoilt as bike riders in SA, plenty of our country areas have even less days of rain fall, does anyone live in a better bike riding climate?
