Gloomy start, then drier and brighter
November starts grey, with low cloud, murk and hill fog across Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and the coasts of Lancashire and south Cumbria this morning. There may be the odd spot of drizzle, but most places stay dry. Inland Cumbria starts brighter.
The cloud slowly breaks up and clears south-eastwards this afternoon, giving a dry finish with some sunny spells, especially near the coast. Highs will be 10C to 12C, and winds will be light, with gusts mostly below 20 mph except on exposed coasts and hills.
Tonight stays dry with light winds and will feel much chillier, with lows of 2C to 6C. A touch of frost is possible in rural spots that stay clear, though low cloud and mist patches may develop in places later.
