Hi all,

Well that’s March almost done with. Where are these months going? Another disappointment regarding snow and we’re now well into Spring. We did see some snow late-April last year so don’t rule out seeing some over the coming weeks but I think it’s time to rule out any proper cold after a winter that never delivered. 

Meanwhile, we’ve been basking in some early-Spring sunshine and it’s been very pleasant indeed. For now though we’re back to the doom and gloom and rain. 

Thursday: A very mild day, even feeling muggy in any brightness but generally it’s a cloudy day with some showery rain at times. Max 16°C

Low pressure bringing heavy rain in from the west on Friday

Friday: A spell of rain during the morning, some heavy. The afternoon looks likely to improve with some showers but pleasant sunny spells as well. Max 16°C

Weekend: A showery start then improving. 

Saturday: Low pressure close by bringing a cooler day with showers at times. Max 12°C

Sunday: For some of you doing the Manchester Marathon conditions are looking perfect. A little ridge of high pressure should come into play. A chilly start but bright spells will follow and feeling pleasant with light winds. Max 13°C

Fingers crossed for high pressure to return next week with plenty of dry weather and pleasant sunny spells

Looking ahead: Next week should become settled with mild southwesterlies keeping the temperatures towards the midteens. Sunny spells by day and dry so feeling pleasant once again. 

There’s been a lot of media lies flying around (the norm) about a Boiling Easter. It really is just made-up nonsense. It is far too early to tell what the weather will be like so look out for my updates via @ChadWeather on Twitter as we approach the Easter break. 

Thanks,
Jon
