Why is it so wet in the UK? Soggy Brits are 'absolutely sick of it'

"Brits have a reputation for talking about the weather, and as the UK suffers its 36th consecutive day of rain, social media has been alight with chatter. 'Sorry but what is this weather in the UK right now? It is absolutely depressing,' one user vented on TikTok. Another added: 'It's been raining every single day. Let us rest, we get it.' And one joked: 'The umbrella is my most prized possession at this point.'"

"Now, the Met Office has revealed the weather phenomenon behind this particularly soggy spell. 'For many of us, the past few weeks have felt relentlessly wet,' it explained. 'Repeated bands of rain have swept in from the Atlantic, leading to increasingly saturated ground, travel disruption, and a general sense that winter has been stuck on repeat.' Unfortunately, there's no rest for your umbrellas - as the meteorological service warns that the worst is yet to come."

"So far, rain has been reported somewhere in the UK every single day this year. 'While amounts are trivial on some days, and some areas will have seen dry days, the UK has seen a wet start to the year, particularly in Northern Ireland and southern England,' Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said. Over in Reading, rain has fallen for 25 consecutive days - the longest unbroken spell ever recorded in the town."

The UK has experienced an extended wet spell, with rain reported somewhere in the country on each day this year and the current run reaching 36 consecutive days. Repeated bands of rain from the Atlantic have saturated the ground, caused travel disruption, and left many areas feeling like winter is persisting. Northern Ireland and southern England have seen particularly wet starts to the year. Reading recorded 25 consecutive days of rain, a new local record. Public frustration has surfaced on social media, and the Met Office warns that wetter conditions may continue.
