According to the boffins at the Free University's meteorological station in Dahlem, 2007 has so far been the wettest year they've ever experienced. Up until yesterday afternoon they've measured 781.5 litres of rain per square metre, which is not far below the current record of 805 litres in 1926. With over three months to go, it looks like Berlin's market for umbrellas might be experiencing a renaissance.
