What the numbers say
- Bergen, Norway leads at 2,717 mm/year.
- Tampere, Finland sits at the other end with 774.3 mm/year.
- The middle of this ranking is 986.2 mm/year, across 30 places that publish the metric.
- The spread between first and last is 1,943 mm/year.
What this measures
Every row is a published annual precipitation (modelled) observation measured in mm/year, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2001. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.
- Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
- A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
