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.

6. Go out for a meal
Whatever the weather, it should not be able to spoil a meal out at a pub or restaurant. Several of the people we asked suggested going into one of Sheffield's pubs or restaurants for something to eat Photo: Roger Nadal
7. Go to Meadowhall

8. Visit the Moor Market
Christopher Lawson suggested a trip to the Moor Market when we spoke to him in the Peace Gardens. He said: "I think probably a walk down the Moor and a trip round the Moor Market. We love this market now. It's a smashing little walk. Love to see the buskers down there." PIcture: Dean Atkins, National World. Photo: Dean Atkins
