After glorious weather and highs of 19C in Greater Manchester last week, the weather is changing drastically. Temperatures are expected to plummet, dropping as low as -1C in some parts of the region this week.
It will feel a lot cooler as average temperatures of around 4C to 5C are forecast. Snow is predicted to hit some areas of Greater Manchester on Wednesday (30 March), while it will be very cloudy and wet for others.
A Met Office spokesperson told the Manchester Evening News: "Temperatures have already started to drop for most compared with the last week, but that trend will continue on Tuesday, with a cloudy day for most and a band of rain gradually moving southwards from the north of Scotland heralding a change to colder conditions.
