Scorching temperatures are set to sweep through Greater Manchester next week, with forecasts predicting a sweltering 25C on Thursday, June 27. The Met Office's latest maps pinpoint this day as the peak of the heatwave, with temperatures expected to soar around 4pm.
The warmth is not just a one-day wonder – warmer air will dominate the region for much of next week, offering a welcome respite from recent cooler and unsettled conditions. While 25C may not be extreme, it's a significant departure from the typically lower June temperatures in the North West.
For residents looking forward to some summer sunshine, this forecast is a timely boost. The Met Office's long-range outlook suggests a trend towards more settled and warmer weather across much of the UK as June progresses, bringing an end to the unpredictable start to the season.
The shift in atmospheric pressure systems is driving the warmer air, allowing clearer skies and reduced rainfall to dominate the region. Residents should prepare for prolonged periods of sunshine – especially during mid-week – and make the most of the warmer weather while it lasts.
As one of the warmest days of the summer so far, Thursday, June 27, is shaping up to be a perfect day for outdoor activities in Greater Manchester. Whether you're planning a family trip to the park or a picnic in the countryside, this forecast offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sunshine.
