There was a shoutbox discussion about it and 53-55°N in Northern Europe and perhaps also down Macquarie Island on 54°S might be a good candidate?
Can someone find anything better location-wise for a drizzle belt? In effect, absence of heavy rain, just weak drizzle that last all day long.

Lima and the Peruvian coast around it gets tons of drizzle but little rain 😝😝😝

Skipton (or Bingley, Skipton isn't quite as wet) gets 1024 mm of rain on 152 days (1 mm threshold, though if we're talking drizzle you'd want something lower) = 6.7 mm per rain day. If we're talking sizeable cities, Belfast might be the the place to start: 861 mm/158 days = 5.4 mm per rain day. You can look everywhere else up

Lol I'm pretty sure it's more drizzly the closer you get to the poles.

Cardiff gets 1100+ mm on 149 days. Glasgow 1270 mm on 167 days. Bergen 2400 mm on 195 days.

Portland, Oregon gets > 0.01 in on 153 days / year; 93 days of 0.1 inches or more. So 60 days of drizzle. Amherst, MA is 41.

Longyearbyen's summers look horrendously drizzly but I wouldn't classify the light snow they get the rest of the year as drizzle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longyearbyen#Climate

Sure they don't get as much drizzle in a year, but a larger portion of their rain is drizzle. I'd think so at least.

53-55°N isn't even the "drizzle belt" of the UK.

OK maybe, but if a place doesn't get hardly any liquid drizzle at all for half the year it's not really what we're looking for.

I think Umeå is pretty drizzly though even though it doesn't drizzle much in the winter

Subarctic Maritime Melbourne.
Also London, because it's always rainy there and in Dickens' novels the Thames froze.
Turku is subtropical paradise.

Practically anywhere nonadjacent mountainous places in the north of the Alps is a good candidate.

The mostly drizzly region(total amount ÷ precipitation days = smaller value) in France concentrated mainly on north-central part of the country, the Atlantic coast being slightly more intensive than the La Manche coast to the northeast.

I heard the drizzle belt is centered somewhere around Nykoping.

92 days a year with drizzle here - of course, meaning days in which drizzle occurs at some point, not all day long. October is the most "drizzly" month with 9.4 days in which it occurs.
