Honest question from someone considering moving back to the UK!

[Rainbunny]

Despite Brexit Armageddon etc!! My DH and I are actually considering moving back to the UK after years overseas. After all the serious issues have been debated between us, the last remaining (surprisingly serious) issue is... the weather! So I'm throwing this out there to get an MN sense of the general weather in the UK since I haven't lived here for twenty years. How often does it actually rain in general do you think? Every other day? (for example) We would be relocating to a city about an hour's north of London for reference. This is somewhat of a thing since my DH really does get SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and we've struggled through a previous environment due to this. Appreciate all thoughts on the matter!

If a sunny climate is really important to you (it sounds like it us), then don't do it! I voluntarily live in one of the most famously wet places in the UK (Lake District) and although I'd like it to rain a bit less, I would hate to live somewhere with a hot climate.

YEs, that’s the kind of thing he says, and something about a supervolcano in one of the famous US parks, he says if that goes we’re all dooooomed!

The problem is not so much the rain as much as the constant greyness

....in the constantly damp grey bits.

not all of the uk is like that, but I think the science is a bit much for mn.
