Rain is not just a weather phenomenon in the UK—it’s part of life. The British Isles is notorious for its showers and grey skies and Britons receive about 133 rainy days a year while living in London. With regions such as Scotland and Wales receiving more frequent showers than the others, its reputation definitely does not seem to be without merit. Rather than viewing the rain in a negative light, Brits have opted to embrace it instead, seeing it as a charm that adds to the country’s spirit.
Parks, gardens, the open countryside, and even the streets of busy London are sprinkled with green. While British weather has its ‘if it can go wrong, it will go wrong’ moments, rain is far from gloomy. Because of the showers, the tall hills in Yorkshire, the Lake District, and even gardens in Kew are able to thrive and are some example the UK innevitably takes pride in. Along with providing life or food to greenery, rain makes the UK more beautiful.
Having rich culture even during the UK’s rainy days certainly stands out. From sipping a nice hot tea by the window, to chatting about the weather (one of the Brits favorite past time), rain brings people together. Brit’s iconic raincoats and stylish wellies are a wonderful showcase when the rain arrives.
The UK might look sort of overwhelming at some times, but is part of how life works in the UK. So this time when the clouds roll, remember these are not only clouds, instead it’s something that makes the UK stand out 🌧️☔.
