we're doing just fine without having our faces rubbed in it.

Yes but at least you guys can predict when it is going to rain, for us the only true test as whether or not it is going to rain is to ask yourself "Is it a weekend?" If you answer yes then it is a 50/50 chance it is going to rain.

Small bit of trivia: average annual rainfall in London = 600mm. Average annual rainfall in Sydney = 1200mm. But when it rains here it really rains. Brisbane is surprisingly similar to Sydney, where as Melbourne is about the same London.

So far this year Ryde Club has lost 5 race days to rain and 1 to extreme heat (this wasn't my decision though, it was only 38C, nowhere near too hot!). However we have run at least 5 race days with occassional showers.

So things aren't that perfect here, but I must admit we haven't had to race in snow yet. However, who knows what the climate holds for us in the future!
