It might just be bad luck, I have had experience with both scenarios, either monsoon season & dessert dry conditions... I do think that CM favour wet conditions though as it actually makes the game look better.

I'm under the same impression, but only done a half career and had 4 rain covered races. I don't care that much because driving in the rain is thrilling. I pray for rain races in real live too because there is a lot going on then (just remember Brazil last season) One of the most amazing races I have seen ever (slightly coloured because I'm Dutch ;-)

It's down to luck. Some seasons can be a bit too rainy whereas others it doesn't rain at all. I'd say the probability is slightly too high but it's certainly nothing compared to pre-patch 2012. Those wet Bahrain races took the smeg.

The amount that it rains isn't as bad as how simply boring driving in the rain is...

Ok that doesn't make sense

I think you're guaranteed at least one session to have some rain in it (if not all of it). 
I think it's just CM saying "well we got it (better wet driving handling) so let's flaunt it"
Only place I haven't seen rain is Bahrain or Abu Dhabi which I guess is keeping some realistic element (not saying it doesn't rain at those two locations, it's just a rare occasion)

i had this problem in my 1st season, too much rain and Safety car but in others seasons it's solve

Sorry if this is a dumb question but what do you mean by "other seasons" ? From what I gather the career in this game covers only *one* season...the 2016 season...does it not?

WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!

10 seasons that's **CRAZY** how in the world do they expect you to complete the game before dying of old age LOL? I'm definitely reducing my race weekends to 50% from now on!

I'm on 3rd year of career. I get 4 wet races per. Only one that was wet the entire race.
Are you running full race mode?

I don't mind the wet races but issue is how unrealistic the rain is.  At racing speeds, you shouldn't be able to see the individual rain drops falling like you do in the game.  Anyone who's ever been caught out in the rain on their motorcycle can agree to this. Please CM, make the rain drops less prominent and add rain spray off the cars.

So far in my first 4 races of a new career with 50% races, it rained a bit in Australia, for about half of China and for about half of Russia as well as in some quali sessions. Please reduce this for 17.

Having played through multiple full careers, my experience is that on average there are way too many rainy days. It does vary a lot, but I kinda assume this is the same principle at work as with R&D being done in two to three seasons. They want to make sure that even the people with astonishingly short attention spans get to fully experience all the facets of the game.

Understandable.. but some seasons it gets to the point of being incredibly silly.

Yeah I see NO reason for weather options in career mode. If it has something to do with the career leaderboards, well I don't think anyone gives a f*** about them. Other than that I see no reason why we are forced to play the game a certain way. At least add an option for rain to be present in 'increased' frequency (a.k.a. F1 2016 frequency), 'realistic', 'reduced' and 'off'.
