The climate of Manchester (England)
Manchester is located in the north eastern part of England. Manchester
really flourished during the industrial revolution because of its
central position in the wool producing countryside. In a relatively
short period of time the number of residents grew explosively because
farmers tried their luck in the wool industry in the city. Manchester
has always kept its innovative character. Beautiful Victorian
buildings stand side by side with modern architecture. Manchester has
many museums that have an interactive character. When you stay in

industry really benefits from this. Snow is uncommon in Manchester.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
