I vaguely remembered they used an assumption of 20 minutes commute with fixed hours. So yes, they were taking the hours into account.

My personal experience commuting 2 to 3 days a week is that I was soaked 4/6 times the past 2 years, slightly wet probably 15 to 20 times. I’ve chosen public transport once but rain was a contributing factor, not the key reason.

If you have flexible work times you can usually schedule your bike ride to avoid the rain. Rain radar helps tremendously. I am currently in the Netherlands and had to use rain protection clothes a maximum of 10 times in 2 years.
