So we went out into the city centre to find out what residents of the city and visitors who come here often reckon the best things are to do when it’s raining across the city.
During a tour of the city centre, we interviewed people to ask them what they like doing when the weather turns wet – and we got a pretty wide range of answers.
Some of the suggestions would be great for families with children, but others are probably more geared to adults.
We have created a gallery below, explaining what residents thought and in many cases, what they like about the places they have suggested.
It might just help people find something to do during the wet weather.
