London less rainy than Paris

As anyone around these parts (south-east UK) will tell you, we've had epic amounts of rain recently. And it's still falling.

However, our British climate is often unfairly maligned, mostly by we Brits. According to my 1997 edition of this reliable source:

London - 153 days with 0.1mm+ rainfall per year
Paris - 162 days

London annual rainfall - 593mm
Paris - 619mm.

And yet which city would most people believe to be the wetter?
