Manchester to enjoy warm temperatures ahead of Halloween as 'African plume' set to bring Indian summer
Manchester is set to enjoy warmer than usual temperatures this week, with highs of around 17 degrees. Much of the nation will also see dry and pleasant conditions, with some temperatures tipping into the low 20s, ahead of Halloween, as an 'African plume' is to bring an Indian summer.
The South will be hottest, but the North is also set for a warmer-than-average 17C, reports the Daily Star. The 'exceptionally warm' plume from northwest Africa will mean the UK should expect sunny spells alongside the hot temperatures, with some occasional showers throughout the week. In Manchester, the Met Office indicates that Monday will see sunny and clear conditions, with temperatures of around 16C. On Tuesday, conditions will be much the same, with temperatures of around 15C and some cloud by the evening. Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly cloudy with some chances of light showers, with Friday set to be the warmest day, with a peak of around 17C.
A Met Office forecaster said: “Sunday has sunny spells for many, with Monday dry with sunny spells in the South as rain clears the North. Tuesday is mostly fine in the North, with high pressure from Wednesday bringing generally settled conditions, although with some bands of rain spreading.
