Glorious sunshine has turned to dull skies and rain in recent days for our region. More unsettled weather is on the way for north west England as we continue into July.
Last month was the hottest June on record in the UK, the Met Office has confirmed, with the average temperatures hitting 15.8C. It was 0.9C hotter than the joint previous record of 14.9C in 1940 and 1979.
Temperatures are due to fall slightly below-average in July, but it will still feel and humid, according to the Met Office's long-range forecast. Between Saturday July 8 and Monday July 17, the forecaster predicts 'unsettled' conditions in north west England.
