As a Geography teacher, I can tell you that the Scottish Highlands receive some of the highest rainfall in the UK, with annual averages exceeding 3,000mm in some areas! The prevailing westerly winds from the Atlantic Ocean bring frequent rain, particularly during autumn and winter months.

Here in Wales, we experience significant orographic rainfall. As the warm, moist air from the Atlantic hits our mountains, it's forced upwards, cooling and condensing to create heavy precipitation. Snowdonia is particularly affected by this phenomenon!

The Lake District experiences some of England's highest rainfall levels. Our Year 10 students recently measured an average of 200 rainy days per year here! The mountainous terrain plays a crucial role in this wet microclimate.

Teaching about rain shadows becomes easy when looking at East Anglia! This region receives significantly less rainfall than western areas, typically less than 700mm annually, due to being in the 'rain shadow' of the western hills. Perfect for explaining precipitation patterns to my GCSE students!

Despite being one of the driest regions in the UK, London's urban heat island effect can influence local rainfall patterns. We often use this as a case study in A-level Geography to demonstrate how urbanisation affects weather patterns.

The peninsula of Cornwall experiences a true maritime climate with frequent but often light rainfall. My students are always fascinated to learn how the warm Gulf Stream influences our weather patterns here, bringing mild, wet conditions throughout the year.
