There is no defined place as weather patterns change. However, over the past few weeks, the UK has to be the heaviest. We have had so much rain that had we been as advanced in construction as India, Pakistan etc. the UK would be a major International disaster by now. Only the design, materials of our buildings and our sewage system etc. have averted many deaths. We have lost an extremely large portion of our crops and the land will be out of use for some time now. However, it is not the first time that the UK has had a monsoon summer.
