What's weather like in Manchester, England?

The rain here is unbelievable. It’s as if the stereotype of England always being grey and gloomy is based upon Manchester alone. Aside from that it’s a relatively quiet city, and the homes here are beautiful – especially considering the fact that the prices for them are very reasonable. Also, Manchester is known as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the UK I believe; we even have an area in town dedicated to them called ‘Gay Village’ which is pretty cool.

Manchester is a brilliant city. It is small, but cosmopolitan; historic, but up-and-coming; wet, but with plenty of brilliant places to get out of the rain! My favourite thing about Manchester is that it has a “big city feel”, but you can walk across the city centre in about 30 minutes, and people are much friendlier than in London. My least favourite thing is probably the rainy weather (it gets a lot!), but there are plenty of bars and restaurants to hide away in, and, in less than an hour in the car or by metro, you can escape the Manchester bowl and see some stunning (slightly drier) countryside.
