Regional Forecast for North West England

Headline:

Mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain.

A cloudy end to the week for many, with outbreaks of rain becoming heavy and persistent across southern areas, where cold. Some brighter spells are possible across Cumbria so feeling a little milder here. Generally light winds. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

Rain will mostly clear overnight, allowing it to turn drier with clear spells. As a result, it will turn chilly with patchy fog and grass frost, especially in the north. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Saturday will see sunny spells and the odd shower, perhaps heavy in the west. Cheshire, may remain cloudy and damp. With light winds it will feel milder than on Friday. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Generally dry on Sunday with the odd shower possible. Cloudy, cool and windy on Monday with the chance of some persistent rain. Turning brighter from the west during Tuesday.

Updated: 03:59 on Fri 27 Apr 2018 BST

UK forecast for the next 5 days

The south, cool and wet. Sunshine and showers further north.

Tonight:

Rain will steadily ease across England and Wales, but it will remain cloudy and damp. Turning chilly across the north and west with clear spells, light winds and patchy frost.

Saturday:

Staying cloudy and cool across central and eastern parts with showery rain. Brighter in the north, west and far south with sunny spells and scattered showers. Generally light winds.

Updated: 03:52 on Fri 27 Apr 2018 BST

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days

UK Outlook for Tuesday 1 May 2018 to Thursday 10 May 2018:

Most of the UK can expect dry and fine weather on Tuesday, though temperatures will probably stay a little below average, and a few showers may affect the south-east. It is likely to cloud over from the west during the day, with rain arriving in Northern Ireland later, and recahing the rest of the UK overnight and into Wednesday. Changeable weather will continue during the first few days of May with brisk winds and spells of rain at times, but there will be a few drier and sunnier spells too, particularly in the south from next weekend onwards. Temperatures will tend to recover gradually to near-normal or even a little above normal in the south but stay rather cool in the north, so overnight frost remains possible here.

UK Outlook for Friday 11 May 2018 to Friday 25 May 2018:

A dry and bright spell of weather with light winds may develop at the start of this period especially in the north, bringing above-average temperatures. However, confidence in this aspect of the forecast is low. Mixed weather with showers or longer periods of rain remain possible. In fact, there is a signal for a greater number of heavy showers than usual in the south, perhaps including thunder at times. Where the weather does become wet and windy, temperatures will drop down to average or a little below.
