RAINY AND SUNNY UK?
What region of the UK has the best weather?Which area has the rainiest climate in the UK?Does Manchester and Liverpool have fewer sunny days compared to southern UK?Is Edinburgh Scotland like living in rainy Seattle Washington? How is the weather in London compared to Manchester?
Thanks |
Re: RAINY AND SUNNY UK?
I would say that the south east of England is the warmest and sunniest part of the UK. There is espcially a noticeable difference in the temperature in the summer when it may be 27 degrees and humid in the southeast but only 20 and not humid in the north west. Manchester and Liverpool do get more rain than the southeast. I lived in Liverpool for 5 years and in Epsom, Surrey for 5 years before then and the weather in Surrey is definately warmer in the summer. I wore my coat all year round pretty much in Liverpool whereas in Epsom it would often get quite hot and humid inthe summer. In the winter there isn't really much of a difference - ie cold both ends of the country. Hope this helps.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere a long time ago that Bournemouth was Britains sunniest place, but maybe different now.

Would you say it rains more than 100 days a year in the London area?Trying to figure out why the Brits hate the weather in the UK.Maybe its just the northern regions that has a bad reputation for difficult weather.

Re: RAINY AND SUNNY UK?
If it's warmth you're after, the Isle of Wight is the sunniest place. They manage to grow grapes and make wine, nice beaches and countryside. Plenty of rain in the winter, but rarely bitterly cold.

Even the south is rainy and the skies can be very grey. |
Re: RAINY AND SUNNY UK?
I'm currently living in Vancouver and I used to live in the South of England and the rain here in Vancouver is just non stop for at least 80% of the year!
The difference I have found is that when it rains in Vancouver it just goes on and on whereas in England it rains for a while, then stops, you get some sunny days then it might shower again. I think it was the 2005/6 winter that it broke all records in Vancouver as it rained solid for 8 weeks! Give me English weather anyday:) |

Re: RAINY AND SUNNY UK?
There are many microclimates in the UK for such a relatively small place.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/feature...tland_02.shtml Palm Trees The west coast of Scotland has its very own weather phenomenon that results in unusually high temperatures and flourishing Palm trees. One place affected by this is the small fishing village of Plockton. Plockton, an 18th century planned village is one of the most beautifully situated villages in Scotland. Not only is it surrounded by mountains but it also enjoys a mild climate. This mild climate can be attributed to several factors. Firstly the village can be found on the east side of a great headland protruding out of Loch Carron, and therefore enjoys a position that protects it from sea gales. Secondly, it enjoys the warm waters of the Gulf Stream which make landfall on the west coast of Scotland. Hence, the reason its pretty harbour is unexpectedly fringed with Palm trees. Incidentally, the BBC website has loads of information on the UK on it. |
