Why Wales is the wettest place in Britain?

Answer 1

Wales has more rainfall than England because there are more mountains and hills, so when prevailing winds and warm moist air is forced uphill over highland the air condenses and cools which forms clouds and precipitation/rain occurs. Then drier air goes downwards and gets warmer and and moisture in the air evaporates. This cycle is also known as Relief Rainfall.

Answer 2

For two main reasons... 1) Wales is close to both the Atlantic ocean and also to the Irish sea. 2) Wales has a lot of mountains, so moisture laden air coming in from the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish sea is forced to rise higher into the atmosphere when it meets the mountains. This damp air cools down as it rises higher and causes rainfall.

This is called relief rainfall 0=)

Answer 3

Answer 4
