We also don't get persistent rain much: it's much more showery and
intermittent than it used to be.

These days persistent rain persists for only 2 or 3 minutes, max.

Speaking of showers, but bathroom showers this time, there was discussion
in The Herald of survey results that showed the average Sydneysider runs
their shower for 8 minutes. That's conserving water??
