Met Office weather forecast for Greater Manchester as rain sets in

Now that Christmas is over, we are all stuck in that bubble where we don’t know what day it is in the run up to New Year's Eve.

However, to help you plan for your next few days, here is the Met Office’s forecast for Greater Manchester.

On their website, the forecasters have said of today (Tuesday, December 27): “Turning wetter and windier during the morning, with occasional heavy rain and possible coastal gales during the afternoon. Becoming drier during the evening with winds easing. Maximum temperature 9 °C.”

And of tomorrow: “Any early brightness will be short-lived as thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain move north during the morning. Staying generally wet during the afternoon. Becoming rather windy. Maximum temperature 11 °C.”

The rest of the week will see periods of heavy rain, with temperatures remaining relatively mild. The rain will occasionally be interspersed with lighter showers and wind.

For Salford, intermittent rain is forecasted, which appears to be brightening up for the end of the week. And in South Manchester, heavy rain and showers are forecast, with some sunny intervals on Thursday.

In the Tameside area the rain appears to lighten around Thursday, with temperatures appearing to cool off to around 5°C on Saturday.

Make sure you wrap up and have those umbrella’s ready.
