All things related to rain are welcome. Want to post a weather forecast? A puddle? A raindrop on a window? Does it look like it might rain soon? Or it just finished? We love the rain, and we welcome it all.

Very pretty, 300 days is an exaggeration though
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)
Paris has 111 average, not 171
