The wettest side of England is the west: it bears the brunt of any weather coming in off the Atlantic (which is often wet!). The Pennines ( a range of hills / mountains) runs north / south: when weather (clouds) reach this area, they are forced to rise, thereby encouragng them to drop any rain present.
