Godley (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Increasingly warm this week.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any lingering cloud soon clearing this evening, leaving some late spells of sunshine. Staying dry overnight with light winds and mostly clear skies, although some patchy mist and low cloud may form in western parts by dawn. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Thursday:

Early mist and low cloud burning away through the morning leaving plenty of bright or sunny skies. Light winds for all and feeling increasingly warm. Maximum temperature 26 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

High pressure continues to dominate with strong sunshine by day and clear skies overnight. Becoming very warm or hot through the period with some uncomfortable nights for sleeping this weekend.

The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
