Manchester (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Heavy downpours overnight. Turning brighter later on Tuesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Increasingly wet with heavy downpours likely during Monday evening and overnight - particularly in the south of the region where thunderstorms are possible at times, giving a risk of localised flooding. A mild night. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Tuesday:

Cloudy morning with the chance of showers, particularly across Pennine regions. Brightening up later with sunny spells, this perhaps setting off scattered heavier showers. Breezy and feeling a little cool. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Warm and bright on Wednesday with sunny spells. Cloudier on Thursday with some patchy rain possible. Becoming windier on Friday with rain later.

Early in this period, low pressure is likely to exist to the northwest or north of the UK, allowing areas of cloud and rain to spread across the UK from the west, though some more settled interludes are also likely, especially in the southeast. Breezy at times, with temperatures mainly near or below normal. Remaining changeable thereafter as weather systems to move across the country from the west, with northern and western areas typically wettest and a greater chance of dry conditions prevailing in the southeast. There is, however, a smaller chance for either unsettled weather to be more widely prevalent, or for a more quiescent period to develop across the south. Overall, temperatures will likely be near normal, but may feel cool in the west at times.

Through this period, there remains a slightly increased chance of more settled spells of weather developing at times, particularly in the south, and the likelihood of this has been gradually increasing over the past few days. However, there is still a substantial chance of other outcomes too, with more changeable periods also likely. Overall drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average, and warmer than average conditions are weakly favoured too.
