Although it's the Scottish moors that are more famous for lots of rain/drizzle (and quite deservedly so - 300+ days a year with precipitation according to http://www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/eae/Climate/Younger/British_Climate.html)
As you can imagine, not many people live in the middle of the Scottish moors. Grouse, mostly. http://americansamuck.blogspot.com/2006/01/rainy-london.html Washington rainfall: 40 inches per year (and 23 inches of snow) Chicago 36 Newark 42 Houston 45 Charlotte 43 Phoenix 7 London 23 So, apart from the desert parts of the USA, London gets less rain than many US cities.
And London *did* have nasty air-clarity problems when most buildings were burning high-sulfur coal for heat. Though it was more a very damp smog than a true fog....
Yes, but that was 50 years ago. I actually remember the Great Smog of London, 1952, it killed thousands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smog_of_1952 But in 1956, we passed the Clean Air act, and it's been good ever since. In the USA, you also passed a Clean Air act, 14 years later. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
