Hale (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

A settled and increasingly warm few days ahead.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry and clear night to come with perhaps a few mist and fog patches. Breezy around coasts. A chilly night with perhaps a touch of frost in the countryside. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Tuesday:

A pleasant day on Tuesday with lots of sunshine, although skies may turn hazy across western areas by the afternoon. Breezy around coasts. Feeling warm, especially in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Largely dry with warm spells of sunshine on Wednesday. Turning cooler and more changeable from Thursday with spells of rain and showers moving across the region.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern is rather more unclear. Some drier, brighter interludes will also occur and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Beyond mid-month, high pressure may become rather more dominant, bringing more in the way of drier and perhaps warmer weather, though this will be determined by the location and proximity of where any high is positioned relative to the UK.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
