Do you think it rains that much in wales compared to elsewhere ?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Yes we are in the south west of the uk and like cornwall are subject to prevailing winds from the Atlantic, bringing in moist air

So it does rain quite a lot

But I lived in Manchester and it was raining all the time up there

And in bradford , always bloody raining

Crap summers in yorkshire and Lancashire too

It's often belting hot in cardiff in the summer

[dembethewarrior]

Never failed to rain every time I've been to Manchester.

Worked up around Slough, Windsor, Twickenham, Epsom etc and never ever seen rain there.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Manchester is a rain sodden dump of a city

Bloody huge though

[splott parker]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Cardiff has a higher annual rainfall than Manchester.

[xsnaggle]

They say it never rains in southern Calfornia!!

Thanks to the met office, you can get statistics on such things.

In terms of regions, stats go back as far as 1862. I've compared Wales, Scotland, N England and S England. Wales has been the wettest region in 55 of those years. Scotland has been the wettest in 103! No part of England has been wetter than Wales. The south of England has, unsurprisingly, been the driest in all bar 2 of those years.

Every time I’ve been to Scotland, spring,summer, autumn, winter, IT’S F UCKING PISSED DOWN !!!!!!!

Even to the extent, myself and the wife had to buy winter coats and brollys one year !!!!
In JULY !!!!!!

It can go several months without a drop. Or even a cloud in the sky.

I remember reading somewhere that Cardiff is the rainiest city in the UK.

Lived in Glasgow as well and as Bluetit so eloquently put it, i think the fact you don't have a summer made it feel worse.

[ToTaL ITK]

Cardiff has been revealed as the wettest city in Britain, with a soaking 1152 mm of rainfall annually. The Welsh capital topped the list of the UK's rainiest cities, compiled by rainwater harvesting specialist Freeflush, which used data from the Met Office.

so yeah ... it rains a lot and you should invest in a umbrella ella ella ella

Yes but you can get burnt to death with all those bush fires! 🔥

Well known that Cardiff tops the list on the mainland. I moved to Manchester for uni and stayed. I occasionally tell people it was to go somewhere drier than Cardiff. Oh how they laugh..

Whilst I’m on, there is a list of Brains pubs on......the Brains website.

Oh, and Manchester is fantastic vibrant city. X

Concrete jungle when I lived there

Miles platting , moston, moss side , hulme crescents , longsight , levenshulme , the gooch street gang , rusholme , drive by shootings

Made cardiff look like a kindergarten

Alright if you were a student and didn't have to live in these very rough areas , we would hang out at the band on the wall, jillys rock club , the Ritz etc

Then you could go home to your cosy student hall of residence

No wonder the locals hated students

Most of the time we lived in fallowfield , which may or may not be as run down as when I left , withington areas , far from the madding crowd

It's set up to be the london of the north

Much preferred bradford , a real warm working class city , rough , but friendly

Mcr is quality sludge, best city on the planet, its a conveyor belt of quality bands.

Bethlehems Casuals next up for me. I'll move back one day, of that I'm sure

oh, and North Mcr (collyhurst, harpurhey, blackley) are much worse than the shitholes of the south you've mentioned.

[splott parker]

I’ve got family in Burnage, we love going up there, Didsbury village, Stockport etc has some decent pubs & restaurants.

[Trigger]

The stats say it does rain more here but I always find it amusing when the English make a joke about it as if you cross the border and the weather turns into the Mediterranean.

It's like two bald blokes fighting over a comb but one has a single wispy bit of hair on the side.

A well known national daily paper used to compare the four capital cities in each of the 4 UK countries...and Cardiff was consistently the wettest...and the sunniest and the warmest overall......
So not a bad place to be.
