As we enter the first weekend of the Christmas month, Greater Manchester is set to experience colder temperatures and agreeable weather.
According to the Met Office, Saturday will start off with cloudy conditions and temperatures of 5C. By the afternoon, temperatures will pick up slightly with sunny intervals maintaining throughout until the late afternoon and evening.
By the evening, skies will be partly cloudy with temperatures dipping back down to 5C - but it will feel like 2C so ensure you wrap up if you're heading out after it gets dark. Forecasters predict that the northwest will see a few showers, but it's unlikely this will be seen in Greater Manchester.
