We often reference sunshine and summertime as the best time of year and forget all about the benefits of its counterpart, the rain. Admittedly, walking in the rain isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but many of our best memories may well have taken place in the rain – think movie-scene kissing moments, dancing in the rain (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!) or coming in from the cold to that well-earned cup of coffee – you have to admit that you certainly appreciated it more! Then there is the benefit to nature – the best and most cheap way to get a perfect green garden is for the heavens to open and refresh all of your plant life. When you look at how great rain is, you’ll understand why the Welsh call it ‘liquid sunshine’. So – join WAYN as we discover the rainiest places on our planet!
