**For comparison:**
2500mm a year would be the equivalent to a city like Bergen, Norway or Prince Rupert, Canada
500mm a year would be the equivalent to a city like Berlin, Germany; London, England or Denver, Colorado
100mm a year would be the equivalent to a city like Tumbouctou, Mali or half of the rainfall in El Paso, Texas
**Wettest towns:**
Ponte Caldelas, Pontevedra. 2860mm a year (Among the wettest towns in Europe)
Fornelos dos Montes, Pontevedra. 2700mm a year
Campo Lameiro, Pontevedra. 2500mm a year
Lesaka, Navarre. 2360 mm a year
Vimianzo, A Coruña. 2280mm a year
**Driest towns**
Puerto del Rosario, Canary Islands. 100mm a year
Cabo de Gata, Almería. 150mm a year (Driest town in continental Europe)
Almería, Almería. 200mm a year
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. 240mm a year
Alicante, Alicante. 280mm a year
The Canary Islands should be included, some islands get too much water and other not a single drop for months
Wait just a god damn minute, are you telling me the rain in Spain does not stay mainly in the plain?!?
The south west is so dry
It’s mean, not median rainfall OP.
The only place in Europe with true desert climate is the rainshadow behind the big massif, can’t remember the name, in the southeast in Almeria area.
Mean not Median
Galicia gets gushy
Didn’t realize Granada was practically a rainforest.
I’m in the green but measured 1093 mm last year.
You should’ve included Portugal too
