Foggy Start, Then Dry and Sunny
Today starts dry but grey for many of us. Low cloud, mist and fog patches are most extensive across Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire, and hill fog covers the fells. Northern Cumbria should have the brightest start.
The cloud will break up steadily through the afternoon, leaving plenty of sunshine for most places by late afternoon. Some cloud may stay on the Lakeland tops. Winds are mostly light, with gusts of 12 to 20 mph inland and up to 25 to 30 mph on exposed Cumbrian coasts and hills. Highs will be 12C to 14C, which is a little above average.
Tonight will be dry and clear at first, but mist and fog patches will form again in prone spots after midnight. It will be chillier than last night, with lows of around 5C to 7C.
