'There's no surprise that there's a bit of a chill in the air'
It's been a chilly start to June in Greater Manchester and across the UK - which an expert says 'is no surprise'.
Comparing this to June 2023, Brits enjoyed a record-breaking heatwave as temperatures climbed to 32C and summer got off to a blazing start. Forecasters said the chilly start to June this year is down to a jet stream driving cold wind southwards from the Arctic to the UK.Alex Deakin, meteorologist and weather forecaster for the Met Office, told Mail Online this is why 'it does feel chilly' despite the 'reasonably powerful June sunshine'.
And the warmer weather could 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." Temperatures are not likely to climb above 15C, with lows in Manchester of 11C overnight. Showers are expected to follow in Manchester tomorrow and across the weekend.
