What's the difference in meaning:
1) It's always raining in London
2) It always rains in London.

Can we say that in 1) someone expresses disappointment and annoyance and 2) is neutral, stating a fact?

Neither is factually correct. London has many fine days.

You will hear

1) It's always raining when I go to London.
2) It always rains in London when I'm there.

They mean the same.

Why didn't you suggest a sentence using "It often rains" which appears in your title?
 
Re: It's always raining/ It often rains

It was a mistake - I wanted to know about the difference between "It always rains" and "It's always raining".
