WHEN IT comes to brollies, you won’t need it in Reading as much as you will in other places, as outside of London it is the driest place in the country.
New research discovered that the Ding has an average yearly rainfall total of 709mm – behind London’s 621, but significantly ahead of Bournemouth (798mm) and Bristol (824mm).
And that places it second in a list of 10 driest towns and cities in the country.
It’s been compiled by Betway, which has been looking at the ultimate sun-seekers travel guide for the UK. It ranked placed based on population, average number of daylight hours, sunniest months, average annual temperatures, and the distance to the nearest beach, as well as the wet stuff.
London sees just 621mm of rain, giving it top spot, but the Ding is second, ahead of Nottingham (712mm), Derby (763mm), Birmingham (769) and Southend (775mm).
