Battle of the Climates...NO RAIN vs. CONSTANT RAIN- both mild season climates.. (temperatures, rainfall)

[arman35]

No rain. Rain 24/7 would be utterly depressing and you would get wet and cold everytime you went outside to grab the mail or something

Pffft! As if you even needed to ask me this one. NO RAIN!!!!!

[arman35]

And actually both do exist. The Atacama Desert in Chile is strangly enough a mild desert that gets absolutely zero rain whatsoever. MAYBE, if they're lucky, once a decade or two. The only moisture out there is from the regular fog they receive. And I've been to Mt. Wai'ale'ale in Kauai, an island in Hawai'i. The place is dubbed "The Rainiest Spot on Earth." It gets 25-35 inches of rain per month, every month, nonstop. Thats an inch per day. It has no wet or dry season like those places in India which get mosoons. Also no warm or cool season. It's just 80 degrees with rain yearround. So both scenarios are possible, Adriana.

definetely the rainy climate... I just hate dry climates and wouldn't mind living in a really wet one, although this 365-days one is definetely far over the top.

No rain! But I bet the humidity is disgustingly low.

actually there are places that can go years on end without rain. the deserts of northern chile only get a few rain showers every decade and aswan egypt averages only .02in of rain per year. anyway as for what I'd rather have. constant rain and storms Thank you very much

The rainy climate of course.

if it rains everyday there would be no soil, just wet muck with occasional flooding, constantly.

Do you realize that places with 1500 mm of annual rainfall are already prone to huge floods and landslides?
Life there will be imposible unless we are sea monkeys or something.
And the extreme desert, i already have severily dry skin from semiarid northeastern México, cant imagine how that level of drieness feels.
But still, i will prefer the desert.

Mate, if you are concerned about the lack of humidity, there is a real-life example of the extreme desert: the Atacama.
Located in Southern Peru and Northern Chile, the region is even drier than the eastern Sahara, where many places have an annual average rainfall below 1 mm (0.04 in). Despite this lack of rainfall, the coastline is fairly humid: with dew points above 10ºC (50ºF) year-round; and pleasant temperatures year-round (although a little hot in summer). Just be aware that on the coast, winter fog is frequent. Eg:
Lima, Peru (sunshine hours suspicious): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima#Climate

Arica, Chile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arica#Climate

Antofagasta, Chile (the sunniest): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antofagasta#Geography



I hope this helps.
