I was up near Oban last week and still can't believe how much rain fell

Speaking of Oban and rain, I am always amazed when looking at theyr.net
at how much rain it forecasts for Oban for the next few days (although
right now isn't a very good example). There are quite often vast areas
of blue in the Oban meteograms.

Does it normally actually turn out that way? If so, the annual rainfall
for Oban must be huge. Or is there some peculiarity of the model they
use which always over-predicts the rainfall for that area?
