Alt (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Dry overnight, with patchy fog in western parts.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry evening with clear spells at first, though turning cloudier from the east overnight. Cooler in the west, where skies remain clear, allowing for some mist and fog patches to develop by dawn. Generally light winds across the region. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Thursday:

Any low cloud, mist and fog patches will soon lift and clear, allowing plenty of warm sunny spells to develop across the area into the afternoon. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

A rather cloudy end to the week with the best of the sunshine in the west. Occasional showers developing in the south over the weekend, perhaps heavy at times.

Showers with the potential for some longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery at times, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south but tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible then possible, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
