Analysis of Met Office figures, from 1991 to 2020, revealed the seaside towns and cities which see the most rain
Blackpool and Morecambe have been named among the wettest seaside towns in the UK, according to rainfall data.
However, on average, seaside towns are drier than the rest of the UK, with analysis showing they get an average of 75mm of rainfall a month, compared to 97mm for the rest of the country. The findings were compiled by Sykes Holiday Cottages, and former BBC weather presenter, Owain Wyn Evans, after research of 2,000 adults found 72 per cent don’t let typical wet British weather get in the way of a good staycation.
"Whether that’s visiting a museum or spending the day in a local paint-a-pot or board game café, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a packed staycation itinerary even when it’s raining." The study also found 34 per cent have ‘rainy day’ plans in their back pocket for a UK break, with visiting a restaurant or café, a local pub, or museums among the most popular choices. And despite knowing there’s a strong chance of rain during a staycation, half of holidaymakers are happy to book a getaway anyway because they want to explore more of the UK.
