When cold air flows over the warm seawater in the autumn, heavy showers are formed. So the temperature of the water plays a big role in this. The warmer the seawater is, the more moisture is carried away by the cold air. This becomes weaker and weaker inland so that it can happen that in one region more falls than in another. So if you live close to the sea, you will experience more rain.
Although a lot of rain falls in autumn, it does not fall the longest per day. In autumn, it rains for an average of 184 hours, but in winter it rains for a whopping 208 hours. This can make it seem like winter is very rainy. Spring and summer are more likely to have short showers.
So it is indeed the case that it rains the most in autumn! If you do go outside, always check online whether a shower is coming. Then you are always well prepared!
