Counter-intuitive but apparently correct. London sports an oceanic climate with regular drizzle which makes it feel more QUALITATIVELY 'rainy'. But other regions suffer more intense bouts of thunderstorms & rainfall esp. which creates more QUANTITY of actual rain water.

A map of Europe comparing annual rainfall to London, with dark blue regions receiving more rain and light blue regions receiving less. A red marker highlights London's location. Most of Western Europe, Scandinavia, and parts of the Balkans have higher rainfall, while areas in Southern and Eastern Europe receive less. The top of the image includes a cloud illustration with raindrops and an umbrella.
