Best Answer

The reason for the wet weather in the UK is the position of the jetstream, a series of winds in the upper atmosphere that drives our weather. This year it has been much further south than normal at this time of year, resulting in one low pressure area after another bringing often heavy rain to the UK.

What is not known is why the jetstream has been stuck in the same position for so long, causing weeks of unsettled, wet weather.
