If I am not talking about somebody's behaviour, but about the weather can I use present continuous to express irritation?
For example,

1. "It's always raining here."

2. "It's raining here all the time."

I must have been wrong when I thought that with "all the time" it is wrong to use the progressive. I saw it in an example in "English Grammar in Context" by Michael Vince in "u". IMG_20210107_141600.jpg The book says "is developing" is the correct answer.
 
Yes, you can.
 
On line U, I'd say "develop" or "are developed." Remember, courses is a plural noun, so is would be wrong.
