Manchester has a reputation for being perpetually rainy but read on as I play with some statistics. The Met Office show the city's average annual rainfall as 806.6 mm(31.76 inches), which is lower than the UK average of 1,125.0 mm (44.29 inches), and Manchester mean rain days are 140.4 per annum, lower than the UK average of 154.4.
Manchester does have a relatively high humidity level, which optimised the textile manufacturing (evidently threads break less in humid conditions) that transformed the region through the industrial revolution.
Thanks to Tim Sutton-Brand for the photo effects.
