Question

Is it true that is is always/mostly raining in the UK/Ireland?

Answer 1

No, it only seems that way when it does rain.

And while we're at it, London isn't foggy. That's thanks to some terrible Sherlock Holmes/Jack The Ripper movies from the last century which perpetuated the myth and saved them a fortune in sets.

Answer 2

Take a look at any country... If there is plenty of lush green grass it needs rain to keep it that way.  

I injured both feet over a year ago and can only wear slippers until they come right,  In this time I have only had wet feet on three occasions, so where is all the rain we are supposed to have???

Answer 3

Yes - next dumb question please.

Answer 4

it rains a lot, even at the most unexpected times. be sure to bring an umbrella along if you're travelling

Answer 5

Not really. We have a very temprate climate.

we get just as much sunshine as rain, but it is unpredictable, as the saying goes "if you don't like the weather, then just wait 5mins and it will change".

Answer 6

It does rain alot, but i wouldn't say it rain's always or mostly. It was quite sunny today.

Answer 7

No ! Today it's a bit grey, bit yesterday was sunny.

We have 4 seasons to !

We can have hot summers and cold winters,

Although this year we had a really warm January,

And a snowy march,

We had about 3 weeks of really hot weather early in may and now its a bit cloudy and we have had a bit of rain over the last coupla days. Thats spring !

Autumn can be quite sunny but chilli,

Summer is up and down.

So our weather is a bit temperamental..

but the stereotype of grey rainy uk is annoying !

And of course the 4 different countries , and west & east and north & south can have different weathers.

Answer 8

don't let the weather rule your life "Queen bee".

Take it as it comes, enjoy life and have fun.......you won't even notice the weather. xxxx

Answer 9

It does rain a lot. But the main problem with the weather is that it's so changeable. Even if it's blazing hot and sunny in the morning, it could be pouring with rain by lunchtime. You learn to dress in layers and go prepared for anything - sunglasses AND umbrella.

Answer 10

Except when it is snowing.

Answer 11

Answer 13
