Why do we use the verb идти when talking about the repetitive action in the following expression?
Осенью часто идёт дождь.
Can I say: Осенью часть ходят дожди?

When we use verbs of motion in the non-motion meaning, the motion rules don't apply.

В этой аудитории по понедельникам идут лекции по физике.
Красный цвет всегда шёл Ольге.
You cannot say.
осенью ходят дожди.
It sounds funny.

Yes, sure.

В этой аудитории по понедельникам идут лекции по физике. = On Mondays they have lectures on Physics in this room.
Красный цвет всегда шёл Ольге. = Olga looks good in red.

In our Verbs of motion books we have a lot of examples of motion verbs with translation.
