Greater Manchester weather forecast ahead of largely dry weekend

After another week of showers and sunshine in Greater Manchester, this weekend will remain largely dry. Despite the bright conditions, it will still be rather chilly, with temperatures dropping to -4C overnight.

According to the Met Office, there will be 'plenty of sunshine' throughout the morning today - so if you're wanting to get out on a spring walk to catch some rays, you're better off going earlier in the day. Unfortunately cloud will bubble up this afternoon, bringing a scattering of showers - but this should only be brief.

If you're heading out this afternoon, then make sure to wrap up warm as it will still feel cold in the breeze, with highs of 9C. Later on, Greater Manchester can expect a dry night with 'lengthy clear periods.'

Light winds are forecast, with widespread frost which will feel sharp is some places. The minimum temperature tonight will drop to -4C.

On Sunday, after a frosty start, it's set to be a 'dry and bright day' with plenty of sunshine. There will be light winds, but it will feel a bit warmer than Saturday, with highs of 13C. If you're wanting to make the most of the sunshine, make sure you're up and out in the morning.

As the new week starts, it's set to return to grey, rainy conditions in Greater Manchester. Monday will start dry but light showers are forecast for the afternoon. Heavy rain will fall for most of Tuesday, easing to light rain and cloudy by night time.

As the week goes on, the weather will become drier with highs of 15C. The Met Office reports that it will be 'warmer by day and less cold overnight.'
