    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 160

      Just 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)
