Manchester is the second-largest city of England. Settled in 79 AD by the Romans, it has undergone several evolutions over the years to emerge as a world-class holiday destination. It sits on a featureless plain and is flanked by the Penine range on the east and the spur of Rosendale up north.
It rains throughout the year and temperatures range between 4 and 15 °C. These make for mild summers and winters as fog is a common occurrence. It remains cloudy for most of the year and limits sunshine to 970 hours annually.
