Very pretty, 300 days is an exaggeration though
Can confirm. Live in Manchester. It's nearly true though, it does rain a lot.
explains the smiths
Better this than possibly constant drought and fires.
After 8 months in Manchester I came back to Denmark and something was off, seemed off.
The roads were dry, hadn't seen that in a while 🙂
Loved the city and the weather, in general, though.
Copenhagen averages 170 days of rain per year. Manchester 152. Manchester rains harder though, at 86cm/year vs Copenhagen's 61.
I don't live in Copenhagen 🙂 it was my experience regardless of statistics, though. Could just be a month of rain in Manchester before we went home, but who knows. It always just seemed like it had just drizzled a bit.
Iirc this is why Manchester became an industrial city in the first place. It is easier to work with wool when it's humid, and so the spinneries were out in Oldham which is very humid and also in a good spot for collecting the wool from Lancashire. The weaveries were then placed a short distance from there in Manchester, and the cloth was shipped out from Liverpool.
Love that kind of weather
As a Californian who lived in Oregon for a brief couple of years, I offer my condolences.
That said, it was 106F today, so... Yeah. That rain looks quite pleasant at the moment.
