Why does it keep raining in uk

We all know decking can be like an ice rink when wet. Wonderlawn were the first artificial grass company in the UK to use specially shaped grass fibres. This not only makes every blade of turf look like a real lawn, but also gives the turf extra grip and sturdiness, as we found out above, which prevents slipping. We install a waterproof membrane between your decking and then add a commercial grade drainage pad. This allows the water to drain from your deck safely, adds cushioning and protection.

The high-altitude winds that make up the stream are themselves still racing along but their path remains stuck in place so our battering continues. This is one of the major puzzles for weather specialists and the science behind this is fairly young. Dr Mike Blackburn of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading admits that the reasons for a static pattern of the flow remain unclear.

One attempt at an explanation involves so-called Rossby Waves, named after the Swedish meteorologist Carl-Gustav Rossby whose research was published back in This is no comfort as the forecasts continue to be grim, but it is a measure of the complexity of the physics involved - how air moves in waves, why certain patterns form - that more than 60 years later scientists are still wrestling with the question of how the jet stream operates and what shapes it.

Dr Blackburn and his colleagues studied the pattern of the jet stream during the floods in June and July and found it to be similar in appearance to now. So it seems that if it gets locked into the wrong position, with a pattern of large waves, heavy rain is the result. On top of this, there is the related question of climate change. In reality, even though I visited in January, there were only a couple of days of rain, and even these quite mild. So I decided to investigate a bit.

Where does it all come from? According to the Met Office Climate data , over the 30 year period, there were Average rainfall is There are more rainy days in Miami at and Orlando , Florida than there are in London.

New York City clocks in at days and 1,mm of rain. In the rest of the country, according to the UK Met Office, the average rainfall in Britain is 1,mm per year. On average it rains for Winter — December, January, February Brrrr….

Winter is the coldest month in the UK, with temperatures often dropping well below freezing. Our winter is characterised by unsettled, windy and wet weather — which is worse for those living in the Northern and Western parts of the UK. The coldest month of the year in the UK is January, and December sees the least sunshine. Spring is well-known in the UK for its beautiful meadows of spring flowers and blooming, colourful spring garden and is a great time to visit.

On average in the UK, July is the warmest month of the year but June is the sunniest.
