Droylsden (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Often cloudy Tuesday. But brighter later in the week.

This Evening and Tonight:

A few clear spells during Monday evening and overnight but often cloudy, this lowering to produce mist and spots of drizzle over the hills. Otherwise, remaining dry but breezy. A mid night. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Tuesday:

Mostly dry but a rather grey day overall with cloud only slowly lifting and breaking. Some warm and brighter spells are possible, mainly in the south. Winds easing. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Turning brighter over the next few days with spells of strong sunshine. Temperatures climbing and starting to feel hot in the south. Staying dry with light winds.

Southern areas are likely to start this period hot, with heatwave conditions persisting. To the north, an Atlantic frontal zone will introduce somewhat cooler conditions, with the potential for scattered thunderstorms to develop just ahead of this. Into the following week, high pressure is likely to build to the north or northwest of the UK, though its exact orientation is rather more uncertain. This would bring a lot of dry weather for many areas, though perhaps an increased chance, relatively to previous days, of showers or thunderstorms in the south. Temperatures probably moderating a little, though remaining above average for many areas.

High pressure is more likely than low pressure for the rest of July, probably bringing settled and drier conditions. Occasionally this dry and warm weather could be interrupted by outbreaks of rain and stronger winds, which will be more probable in the north or west. As is typical for the time of year, there is a risk of heavy, thundery showers during any warm spells. These conditions are likely to persist through to the start of August, with unsettled interruptions perhaps becoming more common, but confidence at this range is low. In any case, temperatures are likely to be above average overall, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times, especially in the south.
