Greater Manchester weekend weather as sunny spells predicted

Weather-wise, Greater Manchester has seen it all in the past few weeks.

We've been battered by sleet, snow, hail, rain, gusty winds and below-freezing temperatures. Cold weather warnings, as well as yellow and amber snow and ice warnings, were issued by the Met Office as temperatures plummeted and the white stuff fell, causing chaos on roads last week.

But, with spring just around the corner, the last couple of days have seen temperatures become more mild, reaching up to 15C in some areas. Some rays of sunshine have even broken through after a chilly, dark few weeks.

More sunny spells are on the way for Greater Manchester this weekend - but, of course, some showers will be sprinkled in as well. Here is the Met Office's forecast for our region this weekend.

Saturday

Starting out grey and overcast, conditions should shift to become less dull, but still cloudy as the day goes on. Most importantly, the day will remain dry and quite mild, with temperatures reaching double figures, peaking at 13C.

Some light rain is forecast overnight, however, and is due to fall from around 9pm.

Sunday

Fortunately, the rain from Saturday night will have cleared up by Sunday morning. Early risers can expect to wake up to partly cloudy skies and temperatures of 7C.

Some sunshine will breakthrough at around 10am, while the majority of the rest of the day will remain cloudy but dry. It will be slightly cooler than Saturday, with temperatures peaking at 10C.

Conditions will turn overcast at 8pm, with another light shower predicted close to midnight.
