Default Second attempt (thanks Google)..Percentage of time raining?


wrote in message
ups.com...
First the reason for my question....

I ride a motorcycle and try to avoid getting wet. I usually decide to
use the bike or car on any particular day after checking the day's
weather forecast. I have noticed that there are many days when I have
opted for the car, but would have stayed dry had I chosen the bike.
So, if I ignored the forecast completely and used the bike every day,
what are my chances of staying dry? Actual rainfall amounts are not
so important as even small amounts of rain can give a soaking once
riding in traffic at speed. The question....

Are there any records for rain hours in any particular location in the
same way that sunshine hours are recorded?

I suspect not, but would be interested if there are.
