Old Trafford (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Warm this weekend with a few showers at times.

Today:

A chilly start in some rural spots. Patchy cloud and spells of sunshine today with a small chance of the odd shower, more especially during the morning. Feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine, and with lighter winds than yesterday. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Clear spells developing for a time tonight, before clouding over with some showery outbreaks of rain arriving later on. Heavy bursts of rain are possible by the morning. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Sunday:

Showery rain will move through during the morning, locally on the heavy side. This will be followed by a largely dry and at times brighter afternoon. Breezy, though feeling warm. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Unsettled at first with spells of heavy rain at times and strong winds. Settling down on Wednesday with spells of sunshine, and temperatures around the seasonal average.

Changeable initially, with some dry interludes and relatively cool nights, interspersed with occasional outbreaks of rain or showers arriving from the west, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times too. However, a trend towards more widely settled conditions seems likely from around next weekend and beyond, as high pressure becomes increasingly influential in the vicinity of the UK. This should lead to longer, drier interludes, especially in the south and southwest, with any rain or showers more likely towards the north and east. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, though still with some relatively cool nights at times.

High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may eventually start to weaken its influence on the weather towards the end of September. As a result, it may become more changeable with a greater chance of rain or showers in places, and perhaps some strong winds at times too. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, with relatively cool nights possible at first tending to reduce in frequency later in the period.
