Well, I was assuming Upon Tyne, rather than Under Lyme. Look it up;
it's only marginally wetter than Cambridge. In the UK, the rainfall
gradient is west-north-west to east-south-east, and it is a common
myth that we get a lot of rain. What we get is very uniform rainfall
over the year, and essentially nil evaporation for half the year.
'Tis true, Sir!

Ah. A man who believes in getting his facts right! Where did you look
it up?
Things like that used to be taught at O level.
I put "Rainfall map of Britain" into Google and got this

It meets the needs. Yes? No/
