Lower Kersal (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Very warm, sunny, and dry.

Today:

A cloudy start for some but plenty of sunshine breaking through during the morning. Sunny spells for most by the afternoon, though the odd shower may develop later. Very warm or hot, and feeling humid. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tonight:

Warm this evening with some late spells of sunshine. Turning cloudier overnight with some light drizzle over the hills, but dry elsewhere. Feeling muggy, rather uncomfortable for sleeping. Minimum temperature 17 °C.

Tuesday:

Feeling cooler than recent days, with cloudier skies bringing outbreaks of rain and drizzle, namely across the Pennines. A few brighter breaks too, these mainly in the south. Light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Cooler conditions continue through the rest of the week, with some rain at times interspersed with drier, brighter interludes. Winds generally light with temperatures around the July average.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
