      That’s a really good question! I think the average is about 150 days a year, but it can be quite different in different places. Some places like the Lake District and the South West of England get more rain on average than other places. The South East and Norfolk get less rain. That’s because a lot of our weather comes from the West so the rain falls on the first places it gets to!

      I live in the South West of England – in Bristol. We seem to get lots more rain there than in other places 🙁

      Hey guys,

      It feels like it rains all the time right!! ☔ ☔ ☔

      I used to live in Manchester where it really did seem to rain every day, but apparently it’s actually only the eighth rainiest city (according to average rain amount) in the UK! It’s beaten by Cardiff, Blackpool, Huddersfield and Glasgow.
