Mostly dry for the next few hours but further rain is on the way later on!!! Forecast 👇

Bright start, then wet and windy tonight.

After any early light rain clears the south, today brings a dry and bright morning with sunny spells across the region. Cloud thickens from the northwest through the afternoon, staying driest and brightest for longest across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

Rain arrives from the northwest this evening, turning heavy and persistent for a time as it sweeps southeast across all parts. Winds also strengthen, gusting 35 to 45 mph on exposed coasts and hills, and locally near 50 mph around the Lancashire coast, before easing overnight as the rain clears to leave some clear spells.

Highs of 18C to 20C, coolest along the Cumbrian and Lancashire coasts, falling to around 11C to 13C overnight.

Rollercoaster!!!! Looking at the graph below which uses GEFS ensemble data (one run, re-run 30 times with varying starting points) has a very rollercoaster look to it.

Temperatures at 850 hpa, around 5,000ft up, (we use this level so the surface has no bearing on the temperature and is a truer reflection of the air mass) will start to rise over the weekend before cooling off again early next week.

This is classic autumnal pattern with low pressure passing west to east, which can dramatically change the airmass temperature in a matter of hours. I've also added the change in chart format below.

Showers remain possible early on but improvements are on the way.

Blustery but bright with warm sunshine for many!!

After early rain clears south, Friday brings a largely dry and bright day across the North West, with spells of sunshine for most. The odd light shower is possible in Cumbria and near the west coast, but the vast majority stay dry. It will feel fresher than recent days, with highs of 17C to 19C.

A brisk west to south-westerly wind makes it feel blustery, gusting 35mph to 45mph quite widely and stronger over exposed coasts and hills. Winds ease through the evening.

Tonight stays mostly dry with clear spells, though an isolated shower remains possible near the coast. Turning chilly in rural spots, with lows of around 10C in towns but nearer 7C to 9C in the countryside.

Latest radar shows wet weather heading into the region. Latest forecast is below 👇

Wet morning before rain slowly eases across the North West!!

A cloudy and wet Wednesday morning, with rain heavy at times, especially over the hills of Cumbria and the Pennines. The rain gradually eases into the afternoon, turning lighter and more showery, though it stays mostly cloudy with further outbreaks at times.

Tonight remains cloudy with showers shifting northwards through the early hours and hill fog likely over higher ground. It stays mild, with temperatures no lower than 10C to 13C.

Highs of 19C to 22C, warmest towards Cheshire and Merseyside. A moderate south to south-westerly breeze, with gusts of 15 to 25 mph inland and up to around 30 mph on exposed coasts.
