Manchester on the wet side of the Pennines

Fronts from the Atlantic reach Manchester before they cross the Pennines, so a falling barometer here very often means rain within hours. The hills to the east force the moist air to rise, which is one reason the city is wetter than places of similar size east of the Pennines.
