North West England weather forecast
Headline:
Wet and windy at times and feeling much cooler.
Today:
Heavy rain and strong winds clearing quickly by mid-morning, leaving sunshine and blustery showers, some of these heavy. It will feel significantly colder than it has done recently, especially in any showers and when exposed to the wind. Maximum temperature 16 °C.
Tonight:
Showers continuing through the evening and night, particularly around coastal areas where it remains breezy. Winds lighter inland, and here clear spells will develop. A significantly cooler night than recently. Minimum temperature 8 °C.
Tuesday:
A cool day. Some early sunshine, but further showers developing and remaining breezy. More persistent rain is likely at times, particularly around midday and into the evening. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Drier and sunnier on Wednesday after early showers. Further wet and windy weather for both Thursday and Friday. Temperatures remaining significantly cooler.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
A low pressure system to the north of the UK will dominate during the start of this period, bringing heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms for all. Thereafter, further low pressure systems will affect the UK, particularly northwestern areas. This will bring organised bands of rain, heavy at times, interspersed with cooler and showery periods but some sunny spells too. Drier and more settled conditions are likely across southern and eastern parts of the country, but there is still a chance that bands of rain and strong winds from the north and west could extend into these areas. The temperatures are most likely to be slightly below average for this time of the year during the start of the period, but will gradually return to near average later.
Updated:
Confidence is typically low during this period, but the most likely outcome is for high pressure to dominate in the south, leading to drier and more settled conditions over these areas. In the north, lower pressure is likely to prevail, with these areas seeing the wettest weather. However, there is a chance of settled conditions becoming more prevalent across most of the UK for a time. Temperatures are more likely to be around or slightly above average.
