Do rain hours differ in each season where you're from?

Sydney has longer hours of rain in winter. Although the rain is heavier in the summer, it doesn't go for too long.

Definitely longer rain in summer, though winters are highly variable. Some have just a couple days a month with a short downpour, while others have miserable days with light rain all day long. Generally, cooler winter months have shorter periods of more intense rain.

Yep, kinda like here. But not through midspring though. More like early spring.

Longest in winter here obviously, by far. I'm inclined to think it's then spring, followed by autumn and summer.
