Coronation Street is one of Greater Manchester's - or should we say Salford's - biggest exports.
The iconic ITV soap first broadcast from Granada Studios back in 1960 and made the move to MediaCity in 2014.
But despite being one of the biggest programmes on TV, the one thing it cannot control is the northern weather.
With the north of England set to be battered by thunderstorms, the Corrie cobbles will certainly be soggier than usual.
And so one of the soap's stars Samia Longchambon has shared the reality of filming the show when the weather will simply do whatever it wants.
Sharing a video on Instagram, the Maira Connor actress appeared to be taking cover opposite the Kabin as she filmed the rain splashing down across the street.
"If you need me I'm busy doing a sun dance," she captioned the post before adding the hashtag '#BringBackTheSun'.
Back in May huge downpours forced the cast and crew into pausing filming as they ducked for cover around the well-recognised sets.
Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt in the ITV soap, showed the state of the weather in an Instagram video showing Weatherfield as the rain poured.
On-screen sister Tina O'Brien, who plays Sarah Barlow, also shared a snap from opposite the Platt's house where Jack and Nick Tilsley actor Ben Price were attempting to stay dry.
"Trying to film with the bros @jackpshepherd88 but too much rain," she wrote at the time.
So I'm sure they're all hoping Samia's sundance does the trick.
Fans have also been left speculating this week after the cast were spotted what looks like funeral scenes.
William Roache, Helen Worth, Patti Clare and Rula Lenska were among the soap stars spotted on location filming upcoming episodes.
Viewers now believe it could be the funeral of Norris Cole after Malcolm Hebden quit acting in January after 27 years.
