About this piece

Whether it’s a light smirr in Aberdeen or raining knives and forks in the Brecon Beacons, each type of rain tells a story about the people and places it falls on. In this delightfully damp tour, writer and puddle-splasher Alan Connor investigates the meaning and quirky histories of over one hundred words and phrases for precipitation. He gets caught in a plash in Northumberland, crashes a fox's wedding in Devon and ponders the phenomenon of Brits who picnic in the car, in a charming and witty celebration of a very British obsession.
