>In most places it rains mostly in winter, a little bit in fall and spring and no rain in summer.

Is this actually true?

I've lived in Michigan, US most of my life and we definitely have rain in summer, spring, fall and rain, sleet, hail and snow during winter.

My mind is blown that this might be the exception rather than the rule for "most places" (I do understand that some places rarely experience snow, and some are deserts, rain forests, etc.)

Its true on the west coast, mostly, and not really anywhere else in the US.

I think you are the exception. Some places might have very light rainfall during summer, some places not a drop, but usually most rain is in the colder months.

I honestly haven’t looked at statistics, but I’ve traveled a lot and from my experience unless you are close to the equator where it rains year round (like Hawaii), cold months have way more precipitation.
