Manchester (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Showers mostly fading overnight. Bright start but turning cloudy later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers mostly fading during the evening, some may linger into the early hours. Clear spells developing overnight with winds easing and becoming light. Slightly warmer than last night with temperatures staying largely in double digits in major towns and cities. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Monday:

A dry and bright start on Monday but skies will cloud over from the west by late morning, with outbreaks of rain arriving from mid afternoon. Strengthening southwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Often cloudy on Tuesday with further outbreaks of light rain. Turning warmer from mid week with sunny spells and an increasing risk of thundery showers, especially on Thursday.

The start of this period is likely to be quite unsettled but also widely warm or very warm and humid, perhaps locally hot in parts of the south and east. Some rain or showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. Later in the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier but also cooler and fresher. Another brief spell of rain or showers may then affect some parts before high pressure likely builds in more firmly from midweek, and the rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and mostly warm or very warm. The north may be cloudier with some rain at times though.

High pressure looks like being largely dominant at first, maintaining plenty of mainly dry and warm weather, but with variable cloud amounts. However, although details are uncertain, late June and early July looks like becoming more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable at times, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
