Manchester is set for a warm but grey start to the week on Monday, July 28, with overcast skies expected across the city. The forecast points to a daytime high of 26C, keeping conditions mild to warm despite the lack of sunshine.

Humidity is also expected to be high, which could make the air feel heavier and more uncomfortable than the temperature alone suggests. That muggy feel is likely to remain noticeable through much of the day.

While Monday looks mostly cloudy, the outlook improves as the week goes on. Sunny intervals are expected to return by midweek, bringing brighter conditions after the overcast start.

Temperatures are then expected to ease slightly later in the week, although conditions should remain fairly mild overall. For now, Manchester residents can expect a cloudy, humid Monday before more settled and brighter weather begins to reappear.
