Oh, did it rain?

Well, the short answer is yes. In fact, the long answer is yes too. It did rain. 1,330.7 mm of rain for the year, in fact. Which is, 1.3 metres of rain. Wait, hold on a minute. Is that like an average of the rain over the whole country or the maximum that it got to in a particular place? Are there any geologists here? Don’t worry, I will ask Mr Google.

Mr Google didn’t know. I did find a video of a cat though. I am not giving you the link because then you will stop reading this. Trust me, even though I am EXTREMELY interesting and good at the speak, that video will win every time. Except when your internet is buffering.

Where does rain come from?

The sky. Obviously. However, if there was more rain in 2012 than there was in previous years, does that mean there was more sky than in previous years? No. The reason it rains is because the sun heats up little baby moisture particles on the earth and causes them to change state from a liquid to a gas. Water vapour gas is lighter than air. If you don’t believe me, look at this: Water has a molar mass of 18, whereas air has a molar mass of 29 (=(3*28+32)/4). That should prove it to you.

So if there is more rain, does that mean global warming is true and the extra hot sun has evaporated more air? Yes, and that brings me on to my next point.

England is the sunniest place ever

So here we can make a further conclusion. Now that we know the science (The more sun, the  more water vapour gets sucked up and the more it rains), we can make informed decisions. You can be assured that the conclusions I come to are based on fact, and they are 100% accurate. It’s science.

It is obvious, if you are as clever as me, that England is therefore one of the sunniest places ever. And I think it’s time we all stop saying it’s always raining in England. Cos clearly that can’t be true in a place that is “One of the sunniest places ever“.

You’re pulling my leg, right?

Okay okay. Yes, the things I have said may have been stretched a tiny little bit. But I owe it to you to tell the truth, my loyal viewer (or reader in this case, as I am not making a video about this).

Here is the truth.

British weather is dictated by the Jetstream. If this Jetstream is positioned to the North, then the UK will get much milder, hotter weather. If it is positioned to the South, the UK will get really cold, snowy weather. And if it is positioned in the middle, the UK will get temperatures that are somewhere in the middle and fluctuate as well as a bucket-load of rain. A 1.3 metre tall bucket, to be precise.

There are no points for guessing where the Jetstream has been this winter. And quite frankly, I am going to be honest, I moved here to have snow in the Winter, so, COME RIGHT JETSTREAM!?
