Thinking of moving to the UK? Then the beautiful map above may be of use. It shows where you’ll find more sun or rain.
London and the South East, unsurprisingly get relatively more sun than rain.
At the other extreme the Scottish Highlands, most of Wales and Northern Ireland get relatively more rain than sun.
And if you want both consider moving to Cardiff, Cornwall or the Isle of Man (which is not actually part of the UK).
The data comes from the Met Office and is only for 2021, so you’re actual mileage may vary.

What does the top right then mean? More rain AND more sun?

The data on Northern Ireland doesn’t surprise me. My father’s U.S. Army unit trained there in 1942 before jumping off for the invasion of North Africa, and he had this to say about the weather in Northern Ireland: “If you can’t see the hills, it’s raining; if you can see the hills, it’s about to rain.”
