Figure 2 in Merlis & Schneider (op. cit.) shows a small area (at the middle of the day side of the slow-rotating planet, made up of two narrow arcs north-east and south-east of the subsolar point on the fast-rotating one) with 62.5 mm of precipitation per day. That is very rainy. That is twice as much rain as the rainiest place on Earth. But it falls over only a very small area. Most of the zone indicated as getting an excess of rainfall over potential evaporation gets between 12.5 mm per day and 62.5 mm per day. That seems like a lot of rain to me — the town where I live gets an average of 1128 mm per year or 3 mm per day. Seathwaite Farm in Cumbria gets 3350 mm per year (9.2 mm per day). No doubt I would find it dismal. But even Megahalaya in India is far from being incapable of supporting plant life.
