IS THE UK REALLY A WET, RAINY COUNTRY?

摘要

The report, which is supported by the Environment Agency, explains that not only do the majority of the population think that the country is wet and rainy, but only 14% of people believe that it is very likely that we will experience water shortage issues over the next 25 years. However, this perception is wrong according to Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency, who explains in the report that while we have periods of intense rain (February 2020 was the wettest month on record), "climate change is also causing long spells of dry weather that are putting our water resources under increased pressure".
