This year's May Day bank holiday could be the COLDEST since records began.
Although it's expected to stay dry from Saturday to Monday, it is going to be on the chilly side, with temperatures not expected to top 11 degrees at any point in Manchester.
BBC weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King took to social media to point out that this means we could be about to have the coldest May day bank holiday on record.
So far, the coldest one recorded was in 1982, when the temperature was 14.5C.
It was a considerably different picture last year, when the early May bank holiday was the hottest recorded since 1978, at a balmy 28.7C.
It's also a stark contrast to the hot and sunny Easter weekend, which saw unusually high temperatures for the time of year.
The Met Office is also predicting a 'cold and bright' bank holiday weekend.
It says that many of us will notice a marked difference in temperature between this weekend and the Easter weekend.

It's because of a cold air mass will cover the UK, bringing a dip in temperatures with some sharp night frosts likely.
We didn't think we'd need this again for a while, but it might be worth taking a look at our list of cosy Greater Manchester pubs with real fires to warm up by if you're planning to get out and about this weekend.
Met Office forecast:
Thursday night:
Heavy showers will fade through the evening, but for most it will stay cloudy with further outbreaks of rain at times. Clear spells could form in Cumbria, giving a patchy frost. Minimum temperature 2C.
Friday:
Cloudy with outbreaks of rain sinking southwards early on, to give a largely dry day with some sunny spells, but the odd shower is possible too. Maximum temperature 12C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Cold and breezy on Saturday, mostly dry with some sunshine although the odd shower possible. Thereafter, remaining dry and mainly sunny and becoming less windy, with widespread overnight frost.
