Levenshulme (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Windy with rain moving south, followed by sunshine and showers.

Today:

A windy day with the strongest winds in coastal areas. A band of showery rain clearing south through the morning, with sunnier skies and isolated showers following from the north. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Showers becoming heavier and more frequent this evening and overnight, with hail possible especially in coastal regions. Staying windy on coasts, but winds easing a little inland. Becoming chilly. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Wednesday:

A changeable and blustery day with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, these heavy at times with hail possible. Feeling cool for mid-September, especially in the brisk winds. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Breezy and cool on Thursday with sunny spells and showers. A fine day on Friday. Patchy rain Saturday. Some chilly nights at first, but temperatures returning to average by Saturday.

It will likely be quite cloudy with outbreaks of rain and potentially strong winds across northwestern areas on Saturday, while somewhat drier and brighter in more southern and eastern parts. By Sunday this wetter zone of weather is likely to sink further south into more central parts, with showers following into the northwest. Confidence is low for early next week, but the chance of some rain or showers in places, more especially in the west and northwest, before a trend towards higher pressure building in the vicinity of the UK from midweek onwards, leading to a more blocked pattern thereafter. After a chilly start to the weekend, temperatures will return to near-normal for mid-September, possibly above-average in places from later next week.

The recent spell of more blocked weather patterns may ease at the beginning of this period, with a gradual revert back to a more mobile west or southwesterly type most likely, with low pressure often centred to the northwest of the UK and high pressure over the nearby continent. This would bring spells of wet and sometimes windy conditions, most frequently in the northwest, with longer drier periods towards the south and east. Temperatures will typically be near normal, perhaps a little below at times in the northwest especially, with the chance of some occasional warmer conditions in the south and east.
