Very pretty, 300 days is an exaggeration though
Can confirm. Live in Manchester. It's nearly true though, it does rain a lot.
averages 152 days of rain per year.
Paris 171
Berlin 159
Rotterdam 159
Barcelona 55
Rome 129
Oslo 170
Bern 190
Prague 160Just a bunch of cities I thought of off the top of my head. At least compared to those, Manchester doesn't really seem like a standout.
The city in europe with the most rain is Bergen, in Norway, with ~250 a year(195 ≥1mm, Manchester gets 142 ≥1mm). And they apparently get two months straight with constant rain every day and night sometimes.
Manchester gets on average 828mm of rain a year, Bern gets 1022mm and Bergen gets 2412mm.
It's not even close to being a standout.
Although fun fact, Capel Curig in Wales gets more downfall(and arguably rain) every year at 2697mm over 206 days(≥1mm), but Cetinje in Montenegro wins with 3300mm over 136 days(≥1mm). It's insane over a few months(Nov->Feb/Jan)
Paris has 111 average, not 171
