I was confirming this post which Jess made a few days ago.
The reason Florida or even New York get more annually is due things like hurricanes, tropical storms and good old thunderstorms which dump buckets at a time as opposed to the steadier light drizzle over much of the UK. But Jess has indicated that she is out west towards Wales, not in London. It’s my understanding that it gets a good deal more rain than London.
However, I could have mixed up my UK posters. I await Jess’s correction!
