A chilly, showery start then a pleasant, mostly dry Sunday with milder, murkier weather overnight
A cool and fresh start with a few light early showers, mainly near the Lancashire coast, parts of Greater Manchester and later the Cumbrian coast. These fade by lunchtime, leaving a dry afternoon with sunny spells for most. Cloud lingers over the Lake District fells and the northern Pennines, where a spot of drizzle is possible but very isolated.
Temperatures reach 13C to 15C in the lowlands, warmest around Liverpool, Chester and the Cheshire plain, with 9C to 11C over the hills. Winds are light from the south-west, with gusts mostly 7mph to 15mph.
This evening stays dry with clear spells and an early dip in temperatures, but cloud thickens from the west later. Overnight becomes increasingly murky with low cloud and hill fog, and patchy rain and drizzle spreads in from the west around the middle of the night. It turns milder by dawn, with lows recovering to 10C to 12C, while the southerly breeze freshens along western coasts with gusts of 15mph to 25mph.
