Why is the west of the UK wetter than the east?
It isn't. All of the continents have more rain in the east than in the west. This is partially because of prevailing weather patterns in the oceans. For example, in Australia, the east coast faces the Pacific Ocean, which has warmer sea temperatures than the Indian Ocean in the west. The simplest explanation here is that rain forms through condensation which occurs when warm air meets cooler air. Cold ocean currents off the western coast mean less rainfall is brought to the region, because there is less variation in sea and air temperatures. The continents have more mountains on the eastern side than the west, which also affect the weather patterns. These mountains create an effect known as orographic uplift. This means that, as air mass is forced from lower altitudes to higher elevation, it expands and cools, raising the relative humidity, thus creating precipitation, or rain. In turn, these mountains then trap the moist air, preventing it from extending inland further.

Does it only rain from west to east?
No, but that is probably the most common pattern. Most continents are wetter on the eastern coast than the west. There is far more rain on Australia's eastern side, as with all the major continents, than there is in the west, and this is partially to do with the weather patterns of the Pacific Ocean (in the east) compared to the Indian Ocean (in the west).
