Which Isle ?? For fucks sake :slapface: Where are you and why do you wish to know this?

The Lake & Peak Districts, Snowdonia in Wales, The West coast of Scotland in fact EVERYWHERE:'( The South East tends to be dryer though. But we get less rain than the Tropics.

Revealed: Britain's wettest cities - and Manchester barely makes the top 10

Analysis of Met Office climate records going back to 1981 show Manchester has averaged just 86.7cms of rain every year, compared to 115cms in Cardiff, Britain's wettest city.

Manchester may be known as 'the Rainy City' - but when it comes to Britain's wettest towns and cities, it barely makes the top 10.

Analysis of Met Office climate records going back to 1981 show Manchester has averaged just 86.7cms of rain every year.

That pales in comparison to the 115cms of rain racked up by Cardiff - the wettest city in Britain.

Glasgow (112cms) is second, Preston (103.4cms) third, and Huddersfield (102.8cms) fourth.

Manchester comes in eighth - behind Plymouth and Blackpool, too.

The Trinity Mirror Data Unit analysed climate figures for dozens of the largest cities and towns across Britain.

We looked at data for the Met Office monitoring station nearest to the centre of each place.

While Manchester's 'rainy' reputation might be somewhat overstated, it is still considerably wetter than cities in the south and east.

London - the driest place in the country - gets just 56cms a rain each year, with Ipswich, Cambridge and Middlesbrough not far behind.

There is more gloomy news, too - while Manchester may be only eighth in terms of total rain, it does get more rainy days than most.

The data shows it rains at least a little bit on 151.7 days a year, on average. Only Glasgow (170.3 days), Huddersfield (154.4 days), and Preston (153.2 days) fare worse.

Lovely reading Kiwi. It only rains here more because we live so close to the hills. Anyway you would have to drag and pay me to live in London. Horrible, horrible place

Cheers, CP! Glad you enjoyed reading that! The data was fascinating, as I had absolutely no idea about the UK's weather conditions! :D 

Sorry to hear London is so horrible. I visited London with my mom and dad, when I was barely 3 years old, thanks to my dad's ship docking there for around 10 days. I still remember that a nice dock worker humorously called me a 'little lad' as I had really short hair at the time and wore incredibly boyish clothes. He even gifted me a huge silver coin with a carving of a young Queen Lizzie on one side and Princess Di and Charlie on the other. I still have that coin. I'll post pictures of that coin when I get the chance! :) 

Ah, to be a don't-carish kid again!
