We've had numerous threads about winter and summer temp preferences, but it looks like we never made this one. How much precipitation do you like in a year?

I chose 501-750mm, but 251-500mm has equal weight as far as I'm concerned.

I'd be much happier if rain or showers fall on a regular basis :-).

Too bad yucky, evil and moisture-sucking westerly winds prevail at this time of the year. That's what I hate about late winter and early spring. Melbourne, on the other hand, gets the best of the wet and cloudy westerly weather but then come summer - when SE/E weather prevails - the seasons are reversed :-)

The more - the better. The 1200-1300mm mark is good - way better than Melbourne's pathetic annual lowish (on average) total of 650mm

1,001-1,500 mm. Which is about what my climate recieves, one of the few thing I like about it, especially since it's evenly distributed through the year.

751-1000mm, but it varies. Sometimes I want more than 1000mm, but right now, around 800mm sounds about right.

More than 1000mm, with a wet season in summer or equally distributed throughout the year.

1450mm. That's the total here and it's just about right - not too much and not too little.
