Manchester has a lot going for it - football, the Northern Quarter and possibly one of the most beautiful libraries in the country.

What the city doesn't have however, is great weather.

Aaah Manchester, where you can have rain, a heatwave, gales & hailstone in the space of 5 minutes ☔️☀️🌧🌪

In any given month the city can expect at least 20 rainy days leading to a reputation as one of the soggier parts of the UK.

When Rihanna played there recently she even sent out pizza to rain-soaked fans as they queued.

Understandably, people are preparing appropriately.

But scepticism remains...

Fingers crossed.

If you need proof of climate change... https://t.co/opXlVboFzw
