Singling out Manchester seems highly specific for a prediction 50 years from now.

Although I’ve always been led to believe Manchester is one of the rainiest parts of the UK.
Im pretty sure people used to wear clogs there like. In NL…. That’s not a joke just to confirm.

> Greater Manchester’s renown as a rain trap – there is even a website tracking rainfall, called Rainchester – means that the RHS Bridgewater garden in Salford is being earmarked for species that thrive in a cooler, wetter climate.
Won’t this be like a bathtub and be prone to floodings?

Every time I’ve been to Manchester it’s rained. One time I went with a friend who claimed it _never_ rained on him in Manchester. The joke was he left some hours before I did and it started raining immediately his train pulled out.

So we will have to level Manchester for farmland. Sounds good.

I’m struggling to see any real change in rainfall in the last few years. Don’t a lot of people predict the UK getting wetter?
As someone from Glasgow I see this as an absolute win.
