If Jim doesn't like rain this might help:

too complicated

"Glasgow often comes at the top of Scotland's "most rainy" lists, but
the smaller town of Greenock nearby slightly trumps it with an average
of 174.6 days of rain per year"

"It is warmed by the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic, and given its
northerly latitude it is much warmer than areas on similar latitudes,
for example Kamchatka in Russia or Labrador in Canada - where the sea
freezes over in winter or Fort McMurray, Canada-where -35 °C (-31 °F)
is not uncommon during winter. Scots sometimes describe weather which
is grey and gloomy using the Scots language word dreich"

"Scotland is one of the wettest places in Europe"

"Due to the mountainous topography of the western Highlands, this type
of precipitation is orographic in nature, with the warm, wet air forced
to rise on contact with the mountainous coast, where it consequently
cools and condenses, forming clouds. In comparison, much of eastern
Scotland receives less than 870 mm (34.3 in) annually; lying in the
rain shadow of the western uplands."

This all seems pretty normal.

I presume you have good boots ? I have an
excellent pair now, having for years used
inferior footwear and plastic bags for dryness.
Finally, I have one pair of footwear that doesn't leak.

Good boots will put a smile on your face.
