However, when you&#8217;re trying to plan an amazing staycation it can certainly complicate your plans!\u00a0<\/p><p>We analysed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/research\/climate\/maps-and-data\/uk-climate-averages\/u100y2zh2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Met Office data<\/a> from the past 30 years and found that on average the UK gets 159 days of rainfall \u22651mm. This means that you&#8217;re likely to experience rain during your UK staycation, which can be disheartening especially if you&#8217;ve already booked a seaside getaway.<\/p><p>However, on average, seaside towns are drier than the rest of the UK, with analysis showing they get an average of 75mm of rainfall a month, compared to 97mm for the rest of the country.<\/p><p>We&#8217;ve also teamed up with former BBC weather presenter Owain Wyn Evans to help us create a rainy day guide to seaside towns, to show that you can still enjoy the seaside in the rain!<\/p><p>Our guide on what to do when it rains at the seaside also covers the top 20 seaside towns that get the most rain, how Brits really feel about rain during their holiday and most importantly the best things to do when it rains at the seaside!<\/p><p><em><strong>Weather the storm one day at a time by reading on to find our rainy day guide to seaside

coastline of West Wales, rainy days were a huge staple in my childhood and it\u2019s no surprise to me that many of the locations in the top 20 rainiest seaside towns are based in Wales \u2013 hello Cardiff, Tenby, and Milford Haven!<br><br>\n\n \n\nHowever, despite the wet weather we were often faced with, our family never shied away from a rainy day... and some activities proved to be even better with a few rain drops.<br><br> \n\n \n\nIf you face wet weather on your holiday, there are a number of ways to still have a jam-packed itinerary.
