Q
Passage of air across the UK
A
Warm, moist air evaporates from the sea and cools as it rises, it continues to rise and water vapour condenses forming clouds as it passes over higher land, at the highest point of this land the rain falls and then as the clouds move over the highlands the air sinks and warms up again meaning there are fewer clouds
