Foggy start, then dry with autumn sunshine
A chilly start, with low cloud and patchy fog across much of Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Greater Manchester, so watch for poor visibility early on. The fog will clear from the north through the morning, and Cumbria and north Lancashire will brighten up first.
The afternoon will be dry with pleasant sunshine for many. Some cloud may linger for a while around Merseyside, Cheshire and the Pennine hills. Highs will mostly be 8C to 10C, though the Eden Valley and the higher ground will be colder. Winds will be light and easterly, with gusts mostly below 15 mph inland and up to around 20 mph on exposed coasts and hills.
Tonight will be dry with clear spells. Fog will form again in prone spots, and there will be a frost in some rural areas. Lows will be 1C to 4C.
