Does it rain a lot in Cornwall?

In fact, Cornwall is one of the wettest regions in the UK, with an average rainfall of around 1200mm per year. This is due in part to its location on the western coast, which is exposed to prevailing winds from the Atlantic, as well as its proximity to high ground, which can cause orographic rainfall.
