Question

Why does it rain so much and so frequently in britain at this particular time of year?

Answer 1

We're lucky to have so much rain.  You'd soon be complaining if there wasn't enough water.  Imagine having to collect your water from a standpipe in your street.

The water boards would also find an excuse to raise bills too.

It's also been quite dry down in the South of England.

Answer 2

Well i'm no expert but think about this.

We are  surrounded by water right? in the summer time the water heats up especially in shallower water. this causes lots of evaporation.

As the warm moist air is carried inland it deposits all of it ( or so it seems) on our little heads. :-)

As global warming continues this wet summer will continue to get worse. Grrrrr!

Have a nice summer.

Answer 3

because i do a little rain dance when i get to hot

Answer 4

Normally, it doesn't. Blame "El Nino".

Answer 5

it's something to do with a cold weather system thats sits out in the atlantic that pushes the colder air towards us.it only happens every so often and when it does it makes the summer cooler and wetter.something like that anyway....

Answer 6
