danm I had a look at the average annual number of rain days ( 0.2mm or more) here in each decade from 1968 onward and there's been little change. 1968-1977 209 days 1978-1987 216 days 1988-1997 197 days 1998-2007 206 days 2008-2017 208 days 2018-2023 206 days Apart from a dip in the late 80s to mid 90s the average number of days over the last 6 years, which has been the wettest period on record, is broadly similar, if not a bit less, than it was was from 1968 through to the present. This translates to an increase in rainfall on rain days from 4.6 mm per day in the 1960s and 1970s to 6.1 mm per rainfall day in the last decade.
