Main rain type in the UK

The prevailing wind comes from the
SW. This wind blows over the Atlantic
bringing moisture-laden air.
The prevailing wind is the most
common direction of wind.

Most of the mountain ranges in

the UK occur in the West. The
West is therefore more likely to
experience relief rainfall.
