In more detail, although Dublin had more mili-meters of rain annually (236 mms), Lisbon had more rain during the months of October to March (142mms compared to 119mms for Dublin). Similarly, Dublin saw more rainy days than Lisbon at 62 days annually compared to almost half the number for Lisbon at just 32 days for the whole year.
