Alphin Pike (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

A mixture of sunny spells and scattered, wintry showers. Chilly.

This Evening and Tonight:

Early evening showers soon fade away, leaving a dry and settled evening. Turning cloudier overnight with showers arriving from the north, turning wintry over the hills. Feeling chilly with clear skies allowing frost and patchy ice to form in places. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Friday:

Another rather chilly day with further scattered, perhaps wintry, showers through the day. These interspersed with some bright or sunny spells. Temperatures similar to previous days with light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Drier and more settled this weekend, with some sunshine at times. Still rather chilly with overnight frosts, but feeling pleasant in afternoon sunshine. A few showers returning from Monday.

High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK for much of next week. Initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still the potential for some chilly nights at first. Daytime temperatures will probably start around average, but gradually increase day by day. As we move towards the weekend and into the following week, we are likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south and west at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south or southwest it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places.

Confidence is low, but changeable weather patterns are most likely at the end of March. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
