In an average year, Perth gets frequent bursts of rain through the winter months from a procession of very strong cold fronts, heaps of rain days and heavy most of the time as well. In summer though it hardly rains at all and is stinking hot. It is a classic Mediterranean climate.

London has more evenly spread rainfall through the year but generally lighter falls when it does rain, very similar to Melbourne actually.

Given what the weather has been like in much of Australia recently, it beats me how anyone can complain about the rain in England

You should know by now that people can complain about absolutely everything, and will, given half a chance

We haven't had much rain to notice, hopefully we will this winter.
