Knee deep in drizzle: Cardiff named as the UK’s rainiest city

Soggy students receive scientific validation

cardiff flash flood flooding met office rain rainfall rainiest city

Soaked students will be unsurprised to hear that Cardiff has been revealed as the rainiest city in the UK.

We’re even wetter than notoriously rainy Manchester, with more than a metre of rain drenching the Welsh capital every year.

Cardiff finished above Swansea in the Met Office table on 115cms of rain, compared to the Jack’s 99.9cms.

A fairly standard Snapchat to receive from Cardiff.

Whilst the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo pass over South Wales residents of the Costa del Cardiff can find moisture-laden comfort in the fact that their continued state of damp has been made official.

Manchester receives an annual pittance in comparison, a mere 86.7cms putting the so called “rainy city” in eighth place overall.

The data was taken from the Met Office’s climate records over a 30 year period starting from 1981.
