Why is it raining so much ?
Why is it raining so much ? It’s very simple. Global warming! Warmer air holds more water vapour. As a result there is more water up there and eventually it has to leave the atmosphere! So it ends up down here. Also where has the snow gone. We don’t have hard winters any more. Rising temperatures are to blame.
Its also typical to complain about the weather. It does have to rain otherwise we wouldn’t be here.

South Wales has experienced some of the worst impacts – Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan says the floods are “absolutely devastating”

Why is it raining so much or why isn’t it raining so much?
In some places it isn’t raining enough, like The Pantanal. There are devastating droughts in South Africa. It will get worse too as we continue to heat our world. Farming is hit hard, this will affect yields next year. Our actions also affect the jet stream and the AMOC (The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation). These affect the monsoon in the Amazon and Africa.
Rain also affects our soils, damaging soil structure, washing precious soil away and damaging crops. Read our post – Soil.
