A further factor that greatly affects the rainfall distribution is altitude. Moist air that is forced to ascend hills

• How was May in the Midlands?

  You may have seen that Spring 2025 broke historical climate records, marking an unprecedented season of warmth and sunshine across the UK, according to provisional Met Office statistics.
