Oh, what about the weather? I know this academic year was supposed to be the driest and sunniest of all time or something ridiculous like that, but what's the weather really like? I heard that normally, the rain is light but near constant. Is it really that cold? and rainy? and lack sunshine? I live in London, so some comparisons to London would be great.
I especially want to know the opinions of those who have been at/or lived in Manchester before this academic year.
