The Great Rain Race: Adelaide vs Melbourne - Who Gets Soaked First?
Ah, the age-old question that has plagued philosophers, puzzled pub quizzers, and left weather forecasters scratching their heads. We all know Adelaide and Melbourne have a bit of a sibling rivalry going on. But it's not just about who has the better tram system or the most hipster cafes (though, let's be honest, Melbourne wins on that one). No, the real battleground, my friends, is rain.

Those Sneaky Southerly Busters: Adelaide's Rainy Disadvantage
Now, Adelaide isn't exactly a desert. We do get some rain, sometimes. But Melbourne, with its temperamental southern winds like over-enthusiastic puppies, seems to hog most of the good stuff. Those pesky "Southerly Busters" roll in, bringing with them a cool change and enough rain to fill a Yarra Valley winery's chardonnay vat. Adelaide? Left with the scraps, a sprinkle here, a parched whisper there.
Breaking News: Adelaide Might Actually Have a Chance (Sometimes)!
Hold on, here comes the plot twist! Don't write Adelaide off just yet. Every now and then, a rogue rain cloud decides to take a scenic route, skipping Melbourne altogether and showering Adelaide with a surprise downpour. It's like that awkward uncle at a family gathering who forgets the birthday kid and gives a massive present to the neighbour's child (us). Melbourne, meanwhile, is left staring out the window, muttering about "typical Adelaide luck."
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
The Verdict: It Depends! (The Unsatisfying But True Answer)
So, how long does it ACTUALLY take rain to travel from Adelaide to Melbourne? The truth is, it depends entirely on the mood of the weather gods. Sometimes, it's a quick dash across the border, a mere sprinkle in Adelaide followed by a downpour in Melbourne. Other times, it's a rain-cloud marathon, leaving Adelaide high and dry while Melbourne drowns its sorrows (and streets) in a week-long deluge.
But hey, here's the upside: The unpredictability keeps things interesting! You never know when Adelaide might get the upper hand and become the rain champion.
