Following weeks of flooding and heavy downpours some sunny weather has finally been forecast for Greater Manchester.
Unfortunately there are a few more rainy days to come and even a weather alert warning of heavy rain has been issued for Friday.
But forecasters have said from the middle of next week onwards temperatures will start to rise.
Although it wont be a heatwave, there will be some sunny and drier weather around next week.
The warm spell of weather could be down to Storm Kruso, which is due to unleash stormy weather over Asia and the far east of Russia.
However, when it moves along the jet stream above the Atlantic Ocean and moves to the North of the UK it will bring high pressure, instead of low pressure.

It will finally bring temperatures up from below average.
At the start of next week temperatures are forecast to reach the 21 to 22C and by midweek they will jump to the mid 20s.
The warmer weather is more likely in Southern areas, but there could also be some sunshine developing in the North West next week.
Forecasters said the settled weather is likely to remain up until the end of the month and increasingly dry conditions will develop.
However, it could still feel a little chilly during the evenings.
Helen Roberts, meteorologist for the Met Office, said: "The good news is after quite a few unsettled days to come we do get high pressure building in the next week.
"From about midweek we will see a lot more drier weather. Temperatures will start to climb a little above below avergae.
"But there is no heat wave or pretty hot weather. As far as Tuesday we are looking at in Manchester temperatures up to the low 20s. Over the next few days it could reach mid 20s."
