Almost always wet: the rainiest cities in Europe have been named
When planning a trip, everyone usually hopes for sunny and calm weather. However, in some cities you are almost guaranteed to experience precipitation, especially outside of the summer season.
If you're not a fan of atmospheric rain adventures, bad weather can have a significant impact on your plans. That's why Holidu conducted a study and identified the wettest places on the continent.
We analyzed the average number of rainy days per month and the amount of precipitation in European cities. The results revealed that the wettest cities on the continent have an average of 13 days of precipitation per month.

On average, 13 rainy days are recorded here every month, and the amount of precipitation per day reaches 9 mm. However, Norwegians often repeat the saying: "There is no bad weather, only bad clothes," so an umbrella and a waterproof raincoat are mandatory travel companions.
