The UK is renowned for its rainfall, but it's an interesting fact that we receive significantly less rain than New York, Sydney or Tokyo, for example. It can however rain at any time of year, and a higher proportion of days will have at least a shower, which goes to explaining this reputation. This spread of rainfall does give us our wonderfully green landscape through much of the year.
Our nearest weather observatory is at Pershore in the Vale of Evesham, and the current forecast is shown here.
