Manchester Embraces a Surprise Indian Summer

As we bid farewell to a rather lacklustre summer in Manchester, there’s a welcome surprise on the horizon – an Indian Summer is gracing the city with sunny highs of 27°C.

Time to dust off the sun cream!

After months of unpredictable weather, locals finally have a chance to soak up some much-needed sun.

The week kicks off with a radiant Monday (September 4), promising clear skies and abundant sunshine.

From an early morning temperature of 16°C, the mercury is set to steadily climb, reaching a delightful 27°C by 4pm.

The day’s pinnacle will once again reach a comfortable 27°C in the late afternoon, ensuring another splendid day for Mancunians.

While Wednesday (September 6) may introduce a touch of cloud cover, it’s still a warm and dry day ahead.

The morning begins brightly with temperatures hovering around 19°C by 10am, with some clouds drifting in later in the day.

Anticipate highs of 25°C.

Thursday (September 7) brings a repeat of 27°C temperatures, albeit with heavier cloud cover.

The chance of rain increases, though dry spells are still expected to dominate.

Friday (September 8) may start with cloudier skies but don’t fret.
