Dry and calm with some sunshine, then a chilly, murky night
Today will be dry everywhere. Cumbria has the brightest start, with plenty of early sunshine. Low cloud keeps Merseyside, Cheshire, west Lancashire and parts of Greater Manchester grey through the morning, but it should thin and break during the afternoon, bringing some brighter spells later.
Temperatures will be close to normal, with highs of 10C to 12C and perhaps 13C around Carlisle. Winds stay light, with gusts mostly 10 to 17 mph inland and up to around 20 mph on exposed coasts and hills. They ease further this evening.
Tonight low cloud, mist and hill fog spread more widely. Most places stay dry, though an odd light shower can't be ruled out. Lows will be 2C to 6C. Where skies stay clearer, fog patches and a touch of frost are possible.
