A nice little warm-up for the weekend - but no heatwave
Date published: 06 October 2023
It's warming up this weekend
It’s looking likely that we will see temperatures rise well above normal as we enter the weekend, but there is no heatwave expected across the north-west.
According to Oldham weather expert Jon Baylis, conditions seem set to be warmer and sunnier the further south you are and the hottest weather will be reserved for south-eastern parts of the UK, which is generally the case when we have a waft of heat from France or Spain.
Here's Jon's forecast for the weekend ahead:
Today (Friday): Cloudy with rain for the morning.
It will tend to become drier into the afternoon with some warmer bright spells. Breezy.
Max 19°C Min 13°C.
Weekend: Waft of warmth. More cloud on Sunday.
Saturday: High pressure edges in from the south and brings some clearer skies and a warmer airmass.
A day of pleasant, very warm sunny spells looks on the cards with temperatures rising.
Max 23°C Min 12°C.
Sunday: Another warm day is expected but it is also favourable to be cloudier with bright spells.
Max 21°C Min 13°C.
Outlook: Remaining pleasant to start the week with temperatures into the late-teens.
Cooler from midweek with showers or longer spells of rain.
Chilly weekend.
