Manchester City F.C. (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Cloudy, with patchy rain and drizzle.

This Evening and Tonight:

Grey and rather gloomy this evening with outbreaks of patchy light rain and drizzle in places. A blanket of widespread low cloud brings areas of hill fog across the higher ground overnight. Feeling chilly, but most places remaining frost free. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Tuesday:

Remaining cloudy for many on Tuesday with persistent rain in the southwest, and further outbreaks of drizzle across the high ground of Cumbria. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Feeling chilly on Wednesday with showery outbreaks of rain by day and frost and fog forming overnight. Turning increasingly unsettled from Thursday with gales and heavy rain arriving by Friday.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall, are likely to end up being around normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
