Manchester weather forecast: Wrap up warm - it's going to be a chilly weekend

Wrap up warm this weekend as forecasters have said it is going to be a bit chilly.

It's going to remain dry and bright, however a cool breeze will be accompanying the sunny skies.

High pressure is set to persist through the weekend, which means a raw and chilly snap will continue to maintain its grip of Manchester.

A cool, easterly breeze is sweeping across the UK and expected to last until the middle of next week.

This evening it will stay dry, but temperatures will fall to around -4C under the clear skies.

It means Saturday morning will be cold and crisp, with some patches of frost around.

The weather will stay dry and sunny throughout the day, but it will feel cold in the breeze.

The chilly conditions are expected to remain for most of the day.

It will warm up by the afternoon although it will feel cold in the breeze.

The colder weather is due to an easterly breeze sweeping in from Scandinavia.

However, by Monday the winds will eventually change direction to a south-southeasterly breeze bringing a stop to the cold spell.

Temperatures will start to rise from Tuesday, but this means the weather will become more unsettled with an increased chance of showers or longer spells of rain.

A spokesperson for The Weather Channel said: "There will be a dry end to the week and temperatures will drop below normal for the time of year. 

"It will become more unsettled across western Britain into next week. However, turning warmer in a southerly airflow.”
