Monaco wetter than Silverstone Shock

[Marshal]

Below is a league table of GP circuits, which shows the percentage of races which have been wet, either partially or fully (from Autosport.com). Unsurprisingly Spa is the wettest, and has heavy showers forcast for this weekend.

More interesting though is looking at some of the more established venues, and comparing the number of wet races they've had. I'm quite supprised at how low Silerstone ranks, but that's probably just my perception of the British weather.

Spa-Francorchamps, 31.429%
Catalunya, 30.000%
Magny-Cours, 30.000%
Suzuka, 28.571%
Nurburgring, 26.667%
Interlagos, 22.222%
Monte Carlo, 21.277%
Montreal, 18.182%
Silverstone, 14.706%
Imola, 14.286%
A1 Ring (inc Osterreichring & Zeltweg), 13.043%
Monza, 6.000%
Hockenheim, 4.167%
Albert Park, 0.000%
Hungaroring, 0.000%
Sepang, 0.000%

Incidentally, of Schuey's wins, 30% have come at wet or partially wet races......

But remember that Silverstone is usually held in July.

Yes, I know, but even so I was suprised that the South of France in May was wetter than Northamptonshire in July. As is Sao Paulo in March.
