- smcl 4y agoI wouldn't say it's famous for its rainfall. It gets on average about half of the annual precipitation that New York City does, which itself isn't exactly known as a rainy place.
- BongBongThrice 4y agoDoesn't NYC get heavier rain than London though. London just gets gray skies and drizzle most days of the week, without much precipitation. NYC gets a few days of heavy rain then lots of sun. NYC is also over 1000 miles closer to the equator than London is. People forget how far north the UK is, the vast majority of the population in Quebec lives further south than the most southern point in the UK.
- smcl 4y agoIt looks like their precipitation is fairly similarly distributed through the year, so it's not like London is just very slightly rainy all the time and NYC has a monsoon season. In any case, the point is that the characterisation of London as too rainy for solar is not right.
