Typical Manc weather? Actually it hasn’t been this wet since 1923
02.08.2023 - 18:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It’s a national pastime to complain about the weather and that’s certainly true of Mancunians. But it seems we were justified last month.
It was the wettest July on record here in Greater Manchester, according to The Met Office. The region experienced 217.9mm of rainfall - 242 per cent more than average.

Northern Ireland had an average of 185.4mm of rain last month, just above the previous record of 185.2mm set in July 1936.
This figure could be revised once all rainfall data for July is collected and reviewed, the Met Office said.
Forecasters say a succession of low pressure systems brought long periods of damp and windy weather to much of the country, making it feel at times more like autumn than summer. It was a sharp contrast to July 2022 - which saw heatwaves and temperatures as high as 40C.
