Met Office Forecasts Largely Dry Weekend for North West

Low rain odds mean travel is more likely to be affected by patchy morning mist and chilly nights in coastal and sheltered areas.

Overview

  • The Met Office says Saturday, October 31 will be the sunniest day with daytime highs of about 11–13°C and lengthy sunny spells in towns such as Blackpool, Lancaster and Blackburn.
  • Overnight and early-morning temperatures will fall to around 6°C, making conditions feel chilly and encouraging mist or fog to form in sheltered inland spots and along the coast.
  • Rain chances are low across the region at below 5–10 percent, though Sunday, November 1 is expected to be generally cloudier with a small risk of light, localized rain.
  • Winds will be light for most of the weekend but Friday will be the breeziest day, with gusts up to roughly 18–19mph in places such as the Wirral before easing.
  • Local timing and conditions will vary by town, so drivers should expect short-term visibility issues from morning mist and plan journeys accordingly given the limited risk of wider weather disruption.
