It hasn't been a great start to June
It's been a tepid start to June in Greater Manchester and across the country. Temperatures have dipped well below average for this time of year, with conditions feeling more like autumn than summer.
But the Met Office says the UK has seen temperatures of up to 5C below where they usually are in recent days. A mid-Atlantic jet stream has pushed wind from the north to the south, resulting in lower temperatures across the country.It's left many of us longing for warmer temperatures to arrive - but they could still be weeks away. Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said: “It looks as if temperatures will stay near or slightly below average for the majority of the rest of June.
But this is expected to make way for heavy rain from around 2pm, before an overcast night with light rain spells, the Met Office forecasts. Temperatures are not likely to climb above 15C, with lows in Manchester of 11C overnight. Temperatures are expected to pick up slightly across the country - but will still likely be below average for June. Mr Partridge added: “From Thursday onwards and through the weekend, we’ll see showers circulating around the UK.
