Why is the climate in the desert different to the UK?

The desert climate is characterized by low precipitation, high temperatures, and low humidity due to the lack of moisture in the air. In contrast, the UK has a maritime climate influenced by the ocean, resulting in more moderate temperatures, higher levels of precipitation, and greater humidity. These differences are primarily due to variations in geographical location, proximity to bodies of water, and prevailing wind patterns.

When was the last time you had serious acid rain in the UK?

The last significant occurrence of acid rain in the UK was in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since then, stringent regulations and efforts to reduce emissions have significantly decreased the levels of acid rain in the country.


Why the UK receives a lot of rain?

The UK receives a lot of rain due to its location in the path of prevailing westerly winds from the Atlantic Ocean. These winds carry moisture which is deposited as rain when they meet the cooler air over the UK. The country's topography, including highlands and mountains, also contributes to increased rainfall in certain regions.


When has the acid rain been the worst in the UK in the 20th century?

The worst period for acid rain in the UK during the 20th century was in the 1970s and 1980s. Industrial pollution, mainly from coal-fired power plants, released sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, leading to high levels of acid rain during this time. Legislation and cleaner technology have since helped reduce acid rain in the UK.

Why is it wetter in England than in the desert?

Because we get the majority of our weather from across the Atlantic ocean. The weather systems that arrive at the UK are laden with moisture picked up from the ocean. When the system gets to our shores, it 'dumps' gallons of rain on our land. Additionally, many deserts are closer to the equator than we are - making them hotter places.
