Greater Manchester weather forecast as heavy rain hits region on Halloween

All Hallows' Eve is upon us - and dark clouds are looming over the streets of Greater Manchester.

The region, which has been hit with showers throughout Sunday, will see more of the same as evening falls.

And if you are heading out tonight, the advice from the MET office is to be indoors by 9pm to avoid the heavier showers.

Forecaster Dan Stroud from the MET office told the Manchester Evening News : "There are a couple of weather warnings for wind and rain in the more coastal areas of the North West.

"In Greater Manchester itself it will be rather cloudy with showers during the course of this evening and overnight.

"Towards 9pm those showers will become increasingly prolonged, merging at times into longer spells of heavy rain."

Dan said the wind will start to pick up from the west overnight, becoming 'gusty' by dawn with highs of up to 40mph.

On the coast, those speeds could rise to nearly 70mph - with severe gales predicted.

Dan added: "The rain is pretty constant so dodging showers will be the name of the game.

"We'd recommend early evening if you are heading out, it's best before 9pm."

Temperatures, meanwhile, will be around 8 or 9C, about average for this time of year.

"Yes, furry costumes are probably a good idea to keep warm, although they aren't so great in the rain," added Dan.

Monday will herald an improving picture, with drier and brighter weather, turning to fog and frost later in the week.
