Now it’s November, you may have noticed a general greying of the skies, and what isn’t currently helping is the fog. Dense over the Manchester skies, the fog seems ever-present – from obscuring fireworks to blocking penalty shootouts – and now we’ve received a yellow weather warning for fog from the Met Office.
Strictly speaking, the warning only covers a segment of Manchester to the south, but those in the likes of Altrincham, Stockport and much of the Peak District will likely be affected.
North West weather forecast for this week
Today (November 9)
A chilly start for many with patchy fog around for some. Any fog should clear through the morning to leave a dry and bright day with pleasant autumnal sunshine. Light easterly winds throughout. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Tonight (November 9)
Dry overnight with plenty of clear spells across the region. Fog may once again redevelop in prone spots. Chilly, with frost possible in rural areas. Minimum temperature 2 °C.
Tuesday (November 10)
Dry but somewhat cloudier for many, although some bright or hazy sunshine possible. Rain arriving into the south later and winds increasing through the day. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly, said: “Persistent high pressure has brought light winds and clear skies, allowing fog to form, while weak November sunshine has meant it is fairly slow to clear.
“We’re expecting one more night of dense fog, with a warning in place for some areas. Increasing cloud and wind should then limit further widespread fog from developing.”
By Wednesday, colder conditions will begin to move into the north. Temperatures are expected to fall below average widely by Thursday and particularly Friday, as frost becomes more widespread.
