Rain, rain, rain.......

Over the past 100 years the intensity of UK precipitation has increased during winter and to a lesser extent also during spring and autumn. This has been accompanied by more frequent spells of very wet weather and an increase in total precipitation, at least during the last 40 years.

Research from the Met Office suggests we are seeing a change in the nature of the rain we get, with 'extreme' daily rainfall becoming more frequent. An analysis of 1 in 100 day rainfall events since 1960 indicates these 'extreme' days of rainfall may have become more frequent over time.

Just saying like :)
