After a few days of warm, sunny weather, Mancunians will be disappointed to wake up to dreary skies and rain this morning (Wednesday May 11).
But the rain and clouds will eventually clear up, making way for brilliant sunshine later on today. Temperatures won't be as warm as previous days, but they will still hit a maximum of 15C.
It will be 'warm in the sun, although a little breezy,' according to the Met Office, and the evening will remain dry and mostly clear. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a minimum of 6C.

The cloud will return by Thursday (12 May), but some brighter spells are forecast throughout the day. But don't let the sunshine fool you though; it will still be a breezy day. It will gradually turn brighter - and hotter - by the end of the week.
While remaining cloudy, Friday will continue to provide sunny spells and hit highs of 18C. But it's Saturday and Sunday that are the real stars; brilliant sunshine and highs of up to 20C are forecast.
Some cloud might creep in here and there and lighter winds are expected, but the most important thing is that the weekend will remain dry, so you can really make the most of the sunshine.
