I just know that on a tour in Hobart 1995, I learned from the tour guide, Perth, Hobart and Adelaide were the driest capital cities....

Your tour guide was misinformed. Average rainfall per city;



Darwin 1734.2mm



Sydney 1212.5mm



Brisbane 997.6mm



Perth 773.9mm



Melbourne 649.8mm



Hobart 616.7mm



Adelaide 546mm



Alice Springs 286.7mm



Adelaide is driest...but Hobart is surprising.

In 1995, he named the 3 driest cities. Perth, Adelaide and Hobart... He wasn't wrong.. What year was your list?



I see they claim Melbourne has a lower rainfall than Perth. No wonder the dumbarses ran out of water one year.





We have permanent water restrictions and 2 desalination plants. Other cities need to do the same.

Israel is a very small country, but the rainfall average between North and South is greater than Australia which is a huge country. It can be as little as 100 mm per year in the South to 1100 mm in the North.

100 m only sounds scary.

100 m only sounds scary.

One hundred mm seems exceptionally dry. That number must be wrong.

Well the more south there in Israel, the closer it is to the desert... it must be the desert I would say.

I thought even  deserts got more rain than that. But, I looked up average annual rainfall in the Arizona desert and it's only 3 inches or 76 mm.

Amazing isn't it?





I've just been scrutinizing google maps... pretty much nothing grows in south Israel... it's the desert.

I guess being in the Arizona desert once in the winter hardly qualifies me as an expert.

I've only been to Melbourne twice and Hobart once...



The furtherest north I have been is Port Hedland.





I was once in Sth Australia for 20 minutes while the plane refueled.
