How can it rain for so long?

[dave50]

Won't the clouds eventually run out of rain?

[tonyav]

It seems like it doesn't it, dave50.

At least the garden's looking lush.........

[tonyav]

Or any hosepipe bans.

They sure do, but they're so cheap you always find another.

[cazzz1975]

to put it very simply, heat and humidity causes the sea evaporates to make clouds, the clouds drift over the land and rain, the water flows into the rivers and the rivers flow into the sea..

Do isobars have a bearing?

There are some stubborn Cumulonimbus , crying over my neck of the woods

What goes round comes round. There's the same amount of water in the world that there always was. It's just that most of it is falling on my house at the present. maybe in 500 years there will be a terrific drought with all available water locked up in new ice caps.
Absolutley no comfort at all to those folk with their kitchens knee deep in sewage-tainted slush.
Hay ho.
