At the beginning of the Triassic Period, with the continents locked together from pole-to-pole in the supercontinent of Pangea, the world is hot, flat, and very, very dry. But then 234 million years ago, the climate suddenly changed for the wetter.

I remember this. I was six, and we were on holiday in Wales.
Hilarious! Thank you, I love it.
Think i was there also
I didn't exist back then. But my father said it was a rough time.
more like on holiday with the whales

Imagine being born near the tail end of this, living a couple of decades with nothing but constant rain, and then suddenly it just .... stops.
crazy thing is, we will never know, but whoever was there at that time, will only know. because at the time, keeping records and history was nearly to impossible.
I'm not an expert or anything, but I seriously doubt it would've just suddenly stopped. It's much more likely that there was a very gradual decline in the amount of rainfall, until it finally evened out to more "normal" levels.
@PBurn88 i agree its 2 millions years and can't stop in few years
@@PBurn88 Yes and also it didn't rain non-stop during 2 millions years. This is a misleading put-a-click video title. The rainfall increased a lot but 1400 mm/year is only the double of most places in northern Europe. Extremely far from a continuous rain.

Thanks for the video on the UK weather, loved it
I’m pretty sure everyone here loves it when there’s a big storm, being comfy and snug in your room.
Now imagine this but except just for a few days, 2 million years.
That sounda like literal paradise in my mind. I'm never happier than in a rain or thunderstorm. I'd still want it to stop for maybe one day a week though, just so I can appreciate it that much more when it starts back up.
Yeah even the homeless can enjoy it!!!

2 million years is one of those ideas we can never comprehend. I think about how a whole year feels and anything more than a thousand feels unimaginable.
It’s twenty thousand lifetimes roughly
Ah the struggle of the young... the years feel long when you've only known a few... after knowing many the years slip by...

This still happens in the village of Mawsynram in northeastern India, which receives nearly 12,000mm of rain annually and occurs for about 7 months every year because of the monsoon.

In south asia it's so warm in the whole year unless it rains. Monsoon often saves us from the heat. If it rains always, honestly I would love it because it means no more heat. :D I mostly like constant light rain with clouded sky than heavy rain.
Agree. Light rain is always so refreshing when it's been hot for a long time.
Near my home there is a sandstone cliff that has been quarried 700 hundred years ago to build a bridge over the river dee -UK. The sandstone is dated at 250 millions years old
There is several feet of pure sandstone punctuated by four visible thin whiter lines containing rounded river rocks three have smaller pebbles,one has larger rocks
I often wonder what weather event would scatter rocks so far and wide, There is a information sign that states the UK was a small inner part of a much larger continent

It's not like it stopped literally in a day. Took hundreds of thousands of yrs to die down. And even still localised water cycles would keep going on so probably some unique areas never stopped recieving some precipitation and then pangea broke and there was rain again.
