"The weather is awful, it rains 40% of the days."
-> According to Wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climat_de_Paris http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climat_de_Paris) this is untrue.
"Paris connaît en moyenne 111,1 jours de pluie par an, mais si celles-ci sont fréquentes, elles sont en revanche peu soutenues."
In other words, it rains 30% of the days on average, and these are very light rains, most of the time.
- carlob 12y agoI did the computation myself I think in the span 2000-2013, using data from Wolfram|Alpha and I was surprised to find that Paris had 46% of days with at least one shower. Here are the cities I had checked: London 42 Paris 46 Rome 23 Boston 32 Buenos Aires 30 San Francisco 18 Lima 21 Beijing 24 Sydney 20 Moscow 31 If you want to try it yourself from the beginning of 2000 to now: https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/b432e59c-fa11-497b-8f6a-b86b0c3efaff https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/b432e59c-fa11-497b-8f6a...
