geography & weather

Manchester sky seldom stays leaden for long, nor is it likely to be flawlessly blue. Frequently the sky is on manoeuvre with patterns of clouds charging between towers and spires. Dawns and sunsets can be spectacular.

Sunshine and rain

Manchester lies 35 miles from the sea, on a flat plain within an armpit of the Pennines. The land rises gently from around 40m at Manchester Town Hall to over 600m, 15 miles from the city centre on the hilltops.
