Question

Why is there a common perception that it rains every day in England?

Answer 1

It doesn't rain everyday in England. It just has that reputation. It actually rains more in your American city of Seattle than it does in England

Answer 2

As far as I'm aware, this is caused by cool air from the sea colliding with the warmer air from land. The warm air rises over the cool air and cools off as it gets higher. It then condenses and becomes clouds/rain.

Answer 3

Ah, England! Land of liquid sunshine!

Answer 4

It doesnt rain everyday! In fact we are facing massive drough conditions in the South East with some resevoirs hardly even 30% full.

Answer 5

Well, England just has a rainy climate, the same way other countries almost never have rain. Yes, it does seem gloomy, but hey! England is a country rich in history, culture, and much much more! So, that doesn't really affect the English, why should it affect anyone else?

Answer 6

Seems like it... lol. . Although you can get some lovely days in the summer. Blue skies all day...
