It's really funny how foreigners think it rains a lot in London, when that is literally the driest city in the UK!
Inky Scrolls still rains a lot there tho
Yea it rain a lot in London but never really hard just like drizzle
@@ethanleicester1199 Not really. Paris, for example, has more rain.
Alan Mac dude I’ve lived there. It rains a lot period. Every day it rains even if it doesn’t add up to much it’s still miserable
@@ethanleicester1199 'ever day it rains'? You're a miserable sod. It doesn't. Maybe in your heart.
I honestly want to go to the UK because of the rainy weather. Plus I just love the all around atmosphere. Much love from 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧.
I just want a sunny day to America i live in uk but i
yyeeeeee im english
We love you too
And the people 😉😂
Would you like to switch passports? I wouldn’t mind a couple sunny days in California.
I think people who like rain came to watch this lol I did.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND ARMYYYY
You obviously don't live in the UK. Believe me, there is nothing good about
rain, not with a howling wind behind it. OMG. We are having another storm
right now.
@@garydunn3037 *But uk rains are boring through,because it has no strong gail force or thunderous activity that much as tropical climate do*
I'm now so happy!! 👏😂 I THOUGHT ITS JUST ME!!!
☔🌈 *I'M MAD ABOUT RAIN!!* 👏☔
It cleans and I love reading while it rains outside. When its cold and it rains I love sitting infront of a fireplace!! 💝
Yeahh
tbh one of the reasons I would want to live in England is because of the rain
Believe me you would begin to hate our weather after a short while. Our weather is very Autumnal for most of theyear. Cool, Cloudy Wet and with a strong wind with it. I often wished I lived in a nice Sunny place, most of us Brits spend thousands each year flying off to Sunnier Climes for a couple of weeks just to escape this dismal climate.
You obviously don't live on the East Coast. We get a cold on shore breeze off that North Sea most days.And all that heat that those Southerners enjoyed last week. We had a week of torrential rain and wind.
Believe me you would soon get sick of it. Here in the North East 9 out the past 11 days for July have been reallywet. Yet another so called Summer down the drain, literally.
mwstriker98 where he is isn't England it's wales
mwstriker98 well the first part
I love Britain ... 1 of the reasons is the rain ... U.K. Is a blessed land ... Rain is so romantic and refreshing , it's feel good weather the rain love it
Rain is quite nice. However, excess of anything is never nice. You don't ever feel tired of it. It's always wet and gloomy outside.
If you lived on the East Coast with that aweful cold wind off the sea, along with the rain, believe me you would not love it. And it certainly is Not FeelGood Weather. The Happiest people live where the nice weather is. Thatis probably why most Brits are miserable.
Gary Dunn brits are happy people , who live in a amazing country... the suns not good all the time .. in the uk we have all weather , rain , sun and snow .. we are blessed ...
Yeah, we have weather, and most of it is aweful. Why do so many Brits spend thousands of pounds every year to escape to the sun.And, come bank holidays, people jump straight in their cars and headfor the airport.
Mr Burns are you from the UK? If so, you will know that not many days are "Boiling" in this Country. That's why many go abroad, theyget almost guaranteed fine weather in warmer countries. If Wind andRain is your bag, then you can fill your Wellington boots over here.
I love cloudy rainy days, I'm from California and there are literally no clouds here just clear blue skys everyday and it gets boring. I did stay in Mexico for a month once and it rained alot. i loved it, but i have to admit that after a while i got tired of it. I wanted to go out but couldn't because the damn rain lol
You'd probably find places like New York more to your liking, at least the weather alternates throughout the year to keep things interesting.
Well, I live in the UK and I have been to Southern California, and yes it wasclear blue skies, light winds, and warm sunshine everyday. I would soonergo and live out the rest of my life out there in California, than be frozen stiff,soaked to the skin, and wind battered, like I am here in this Green Unpleasant Land.
Franz Farmer I am from the Netherlands and I would love to live in a city like Phoenix for a few years where the sun is just always shining
Mr Burns Sort of true, but it did make me realize that I didn't like rain as much as I thought. It just made me love my California weather even more. I learned that I'm less happy almost depressed on rainy/cloudy days, that's y I think I can never live the 🇬🇧. The sun really does change your attitude.
The happiest people live in Sunny places. I've been to Southern California and would sooner live there thanhere in the UK where the grey sky hangs over us like a thick blanket, and sunny days a very infrequent. Idefinitely feel better when the sun makes an appearance and the air is warm. You So-Cals are lucky people.
I love the cold, grey, rainy, cloudy weather it makes me feel so alive and happy ! I hope I can make it to live somewhere with such weather, maybe the UK if I am lucky.
Same here. Sunny days often bother me. I hate living in a tropical country. Been to England twice and loved the weather.
Just like me
Erm I'm in the UK and it's been hot since last week
If you like rain, the UK has plenty of it. Come over in our "Rainy Season" which
starts in January and runs thru to December. lol.
Yeh let see huh! One week here under dark cloudy wet skies,freezing cold rain,cold muck muddy parks and you would be begging to get out of here. I've lived in very hot countries and very cold countries and very hot,wet sunny tropical countries but none made me feel so depressed and miserable like living in this cold wet hell hole of a country called Britain.
As someone from Scotland who has lived in Australia, RAIN IS NOT THE ISSUE! The TEMPERATURE of the rain that is the problem!
When it rains in Australia it is hot rain therefore, you can stand in it and get wet but it will not make you cold, you will feel wet but not miserable and cold. When it rains in the UK it can be freezing cold and therefore make your body freezing cold as you sit in COLD wet clothes for the rest of the day.
Clothes dry easy in Australia when the rain stops because the temperature rarely goes below zero during the day, a average winter is 15-20 degrees. Clothes in the UK never dry after rain because the temperature is too cold to dry clothes.
I'm going to austrailia
@@mauricemotoman3305 Yeah, it rains more often in Australia than you think but it is nice and warm.
@@drrd4127 i'm getting my shampoo and i'll be going to australia
Fair point. Some of the weather I dislike the most in the UK is when it is 1-2C and raining.
I live in the lake district and I hate the rain.I am always like I wanna go out on my bike then look outside and then like oh yeh its raining
Yeah my thoughts as well. I have always wondered why it rains so freakin much in UK and that's not nice from a rider view =)
I live in Snowdonia so yes boys and guess what it's raining right now i love it
That explains the lush ,green moors and English soils have high content in terms of water tables.
Weather in Manchester is awful but honestly it's one of the reasons I like living here
Lew ow glory glory man united!
@@sonalm4805 ofcourse
?????
i enjoy sleeping during the night when hearing the rain.
Though the thing about Brits is that when its raining we complain about never having any warm weather, but as soon as we have a heatwave or something we start complaining that it's too hot and start wishing for rain again. The British weather is something only a Brit can truly appreciate.
Apparently not.
Kelly, everyone thinks that of their weather
your correct, 9 yrs from this message u spoken and people are still ungrateful😂😂
That sounds depressing being cloudy all the time
The british weather, ten times more moody and abusive than my ex. A british weather is only something a brit would know how to tolerate and deal with... staying only for the kids
People from hot weathers want cold and rainfalls, people from cold and rainy place want a hot weather, humans are never satisfied
That explains rampant depression in UK
Ireland is even more depressed.
@@godzilla964 the Lake District as this video mentions gets the most rain in the entire UK
If you think the rain causes depression then you're a fool lol
That's not supported by any data. In fact when compared to other developed nations, the UK has below average rates of depression and suicide.
@@H.K.5 more rain means more clouds. And less sunshine so less vitamin D3. So more depression
I love British weather.
What's to love about it?
@@garydunn3037 The weather changes alot (in terms of cloud formation and rain), it makes our country unique, it helps lots of plant life to grow and it makes us more happy when the sun finally breaks through the clouds after a cloud-filled winter. But it can be very deppressing I must say.
@@Tami_Kat I'm glad you mentioned when the sun "finally" comes out. Which is not very often for my liking.
We seem to spend most of the year shrouded in a heavy grey blanket of rain bearing clouds for most of the time.
@@garydunn3037 gary, you made a lot of comments a couple years ago. Are you still a hater of the weather.
@@morgiewthelord8648 Well, lets face it, here
on the North East Coast, there isn't much
to like. Even when it is dry and sunny, our
Summers are Cool due to that constant
on shore breeze off the Cold North Sea.
As history books tells us.. One of the reason English became so powerful was their isolation and beautiful weather.. Not like equatorial climate where there is humid and hot.. Leading to lethargy.
Abhishek Mohan Singh some people are adapted to them climates
I believe that. Being from the American South, it's a known fact that you don't work outside from 10a-6p if you can avoid it bc it doesn't drop below 90 until the sun starts to set. With AC, everyone started moving down here to escape cold winters.
@@yamyams94 and you say that, but we just learn to deal with it. 100+ degree heat index for 3mo straight is taxing even after dealing w it for 30y
No, it is because the English are superior at everything.
Britain is humid. Summers are awful because even though its 24-28 degrees it's 90% humidity. Every summer seems warmer now we get 36+ degrees most summers now with high humidity.
But yeah it's great for growing and fertility etc
This just makes me want to live there even more.
sameeeee in my country it rains 24 times a year
I'm from the U.S. and I always wanted to go to England :)
Well, you can try anything once, as they say.
ink ink it's a lovely place :) I live there
Well, I'm from the UK and always wanted to visit the USA. We did back in1981 to the West Coast, and the weather there was incredible. Each day inLA was like a perfect Summers day, and we went in late October but it wasstill in the high 80's. We are lucky to reach 70 on an odd day here or therein mid Summer. A typical temperature for us would be around the mid tolow 50's on average.
Please excuse my words, the damn keyboard keeps missing out thespaces when I post a comment.
Depends on location but the average high temperature for London in July is 74°F
I actually love the weather in England. Cloudy and gloomy weather is just more my thing and I never really go out when it's bright and sunny.
Me neither. ...Wales in Britain.👋
Same!
Not enough sunshine will make ppl feel sad
Yeah until you're contemplating suicide! Humans need sunshine.. this is why he has such fake enthusiasm in thus video.. everyone knows the UK is a miserable place and people are dreadful there
That’s not something to be proud of
I love this country because of rain!!
I live in northwestern Portugal and we get 69 inches per year. But the rain is distributed differently. It rains the heaviest in autumn and winter, it gradually diminishes over spring and it stops during summer.
😏69
In Scotland that 4x a week of turns to 7x a week
Im from a sunny part of Mexico.
I would love to get many many more rainy days per year.
Si
@@morgiewthelord8648 si
@@winolowardichelli2850 si
I guess u are lucky to have that rains, compare here in Saudi arabia. Rain is just a sign that cold for 3 months and summer season for 9 months is coming, which means we got approximately 6 rain every year. (2 seasons only)
This looks so comfortable. It's August 22nd at 6pm in Nashville and it's 88 degrees F (heat index of 98) and there still at least another month of this. Today hadn't been hot...just normal. Fall is nice and sunny but too short bc winter is rainy and kicks in by December.
Love from India 💓♥️♥️🇮🇳🇬🇧🇬🇧

Rain is what keeps it green
I've lived in Britain for 20 years and I still can't get over how awful the weather is here. Britain is amazing but the weather is appalling.
I like rain it's miserable like me
What's important is not the amount of rain but the number of days that are sunny and not overcast. There are various locations in the UK that have micro-climates and get very little rainy or overcast days. Places with good continuous sunny weather are East Midlands, South Devon, Norfolk, East Sussex. Places to avoid are North Devon, All of Cornwall, Wales, Bristol, the whole of Ireland, Northern England and Scotland. If you like mild winters goto Cornwall but avoid it for the rest of the year as the weather there is terrible in Spring, Summer and Autumn.
My brother lives in south Devon and he says the weather is horrific.
When I get stressed, I imagine living in a small town with lots of rain, reading books.
Rain makes a person feel miserable especially myself,I absolutely hate the rain,I prefer the beautiful sunny days
Rain is the best😊🌨🌧🌨🌧🌨🌧
I love rain, I cant bear sunny days
Same
Same,in my country it rains like once in 40 days tho
Honestly is shit it never really rains probably just like drizzles
@@laganomacak I see lots of people from the mid east and such, I'm from Texas. It fuckin sucks dude. Sunshine to me feels like a family member u don't wanna be around. Just nagging. Me thinks I'm moving to england
I have lived in London 13yrs and it is actually really dry compared to many countries I have lived in (including Australia and NZ). I hardly have to use an umbrella. It is just not sunny and hot and long for extended periods, also those heatwaves about 35degrees are a killer with no air con!
I live in Wales which is one of the wettest parts of Britain . And we do not get an average of 4 days rain a week !!
Living in Wales too..love our weather and so does our land and mountains.
I love the rain I live in the Caribbean and I'm tired of the sun
I’m from Ohio, and I would honestly take your rain, over our snow and days where it’s like -10 to -15 C any day. But as for summer, yeah I’ll stick with our 34 C days and sun.
It can get up to 34oC in the UK a lot, usually in early Summer. I think the record is over 38oC.
watching it when its raining but not uk its islamabad pakistan ! well i love rain !
That's awesome. Because I like rain
even though it's raining in your country but you have a beautiful city but in my country Indonesia, 12 months of rain 6 months and we have to be ready for the flood
I live in the UK’s sunniest town down here on the south coast and it only rains here sporadically, which is a shame as I have loved the rain ever since I was a young kid. The weather really does fluctuate on a daily basis though...today we have lovely rain with a high of 12 degrees, yet tomorrow is due to be wall to wall sunshine with a high of only 4 degrees!
Denoneer Brighton I assume
Eastbourne. :)
I'm Italian and my country is basically a sunny place most of the year, but here where I live, in the north west we're having quite a rainy summer, not like you usually have in Britain, but still, everybody is complaining about the weather! For us in normal to have very high temperature in July, up to 30 or even 35 degrees (celsius), but for the moment they just can't get over 20/25 degrees maximum. And you know what, I'm just enjoing it! Maybe I should move to England...
In UK Summer it is normal to be around 25oC and often gets well over 30oC. I think the record is 38oC at Heathrow Airport.
Watching this as I'm from just west of the lake district, and it's been raining like four days straight now and I was really curious as to why and how
I'm good. The rain here REALLY hurts my arthritical body. I cannot imagine living there. However, I like to see videos on TH-cam about it. I do believe it is a lovely place of history with lovely people.
I love you 'Beautiful England'. from Pakistan
hahahaha, gotta have footage of glasto when dealing with rain
yeah we do have a lot a rain but usually its all pushed up together in a while so we might get loads of rain for ages but then we have dry months as well luckily
I love rain.
Am I only one who loves such weather? O_o
+A Nø̈rd No I love such weather too.
yes!
A Nø̈rd no
yes.
you may love it, but it gets tiring quick
Ooh, I remember the flooding in 2009! I felt so sorry for home owners whose homes got flooded. They'd have massive insurance problems & would have practically no chance of ever selling their house.
I think a lot of the flooding was down to councils not keeping drains clear or dredging rivers.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the December 2015 floods. I'm not actually sure which flood was worse, to be honest. The (Summer) 2009 floods stuck in my mind most prominently, because I know people who got flooded then. Family and friends of family did. Also, you don't expect months of almost non-stop rain in Summer time.
Whoops, I've got my years mixed up! It WAS the Summer of 2007 I was thinking of, not 2009. And I've just remembered; I was in Northumbria in 2009, which I think is near Cumbria. There was a lot of rain and flooding. I think I was there around October/November.
The weather wasn't the problem, the problem was that fools build and buy houses that are situated within flood plains.
more than likely
Shit I would hate living there with all that rain
It's not the rain amount I look at, it's the type of rain. Torrential downpours do happen but they're not that typical. Nov 2003 was a rare event. Most of the rain is light to moderate.
I like rain, thinking of moving to Britain now
indonesia still have more rain, it's like always raining in the afternoon, my hometown get 3000mm of rain
It never stops raining in britain
always rain and cloudy...
"Well basically its a lot of rain" He said when he realised he couldnt do the math
79 inches a year in the Lake District alone is a ridiculous amount of rainfall
@@stephensnell1379 true
iw as in England in the 70's never rained once
1976 Summer was heatwave.
To be fair i live in england and i havent seen much rain like there was years ago its just cloudy
When we went to California back in the early 80's on holiday, the weather was fantastic. Blue skies,
hot sunshine, and hardly a breath of wind. On the flight back home, I noticed it was clear skies most
of the way back, but I knew when we were getting near to dreary old Britain, when we began to fly over
a thick carpet of clouds, then descended through the gloom and landed back at Heathrow Airport.
Please I want to live there in the rain forever it's like for British people a bless and curse at the same time 🇬🇧🌟
Ooh that’s fresh
"uh! That's fresh!"
Rain is the best weather if you listen to rain and Minecraft music i‘ll bet you will cry
Man it rains like in 3 to 4 months where i live iam bored of hot sunny weather i want it to rain everytime you people are just blessed and your climate is also clean making your lifespan bigger just stop freakin being sad and live for one you dont appreciate weather that gives you health come on people
New York city is similar.
I love the rain rain is a good thing i think im moving
you are so lucky 4 times a week we receive rain like 30 days annual in Pakistan. Not in the whole country where I live.
Does it still rain that much nowadays as well?
What is the less rainy area of England?
Happy new year guys! :)
No wonder there's moss on all those old castles and cottages.
Some cottage cheese please
I live in Wales in Britain.👋 and I love rain.😊 I love all weather except heatwaves.
I think people who like rainy days tend to eat favorite food last
They subconsciously prefer sunny days. Going through rainy days makes sunny days more precious
Send some of that rain to California

I came here because I woke up to a freezing cold grey day, it pissed it down for about 5 minutes flooding my patio, and now it's sunny.
I live just south of the lakes, green everywhere!! :D I love the rain! (It's the wind that's not so great xD)
Hey I'm a Muslim can you Mary me
Well we are a "green and pleasant land". That'll be down to the climate !
I love rains... i hope my country has less hot weather
I was in London from August to December and it only rained maybe 15 times. That is 3-4 times per month. Nothing really. So I wonder if this year has been drier than usual or why it has not rained much in the capital ?
London isn't an especially wet city. It's an lazy stereotype, there's many cities across Europe that are wetter.
Neamhchodladh London isn't really that wet of a city
london is in the driest part of the uk and summers get really hot compared to the rest of the uk (hottest temp *i think* was 37 degrees celcius in 2003)
It is more wet up north.
definitely dont get 4 days of rain a week.

Lol so similiar to my home tropical rain forest country. If its not rain in a 3 days in a row there is something wrong even in dry season.
Well then. I'm off to the Lake District :D
Actually, that would be a great ideal writing holiday - Me, the lake district, a cottage... and my notebook :D
heaven :)
WONDERFUL. I ALSO LOVE WRITING. AND WHEN ITS RAINING IM ASPECIALLY HAPPY!!! ☔🌈🤩
Yet every summer we get told ."don't use your hosepipe"
Funny I am watching this from Amsterdam, reckon that allso Britain has not seen rain for a month now.
I would love to Live in here
I like rain,it`s not raining right now here,wish it was.
The name of the intro music at the beginning of the video?
Well here Lima is a desert but most of the time is clousy same as UK, the sky is practically white or grey xD but at least it doesnt rain to much
I love the UK, and have long considered moving there someday, but it's always the weather that makes me doubt. I'm from the Netherlands and we already have enough rain here.
The rain is not too bad at all. I enjoy it. But you do get nice weather as well. I'd say it's a 3:1 ratio of rain and sunny days.
But the most common weather is overcast.
I see you wrote this comment 3 years ago.
That's a long time.
The climate of the Netherlands is virtually the same as the UK. In fact, I'd say that parts of southern England have better weather than Holland, and I can supply data to prove it.
The Netherlands are MUCH colder than the UK so don't let our weather put you off coming here. You will like the weather here, our winters are very mild in comparison. For example It was 16c today in my town, I just googled Holland and it's 7c there today.
Why the U.K.? What is bad about Netherlands?
Can't wait to move somewhere with decent weather
