Sunny Saturday Followed by Cooler, Showery Sunday Across Lancashire

Overview

• Saturday will be warm and largely sunny with peak temperatures of about 26–28°C expected between 2pm and 5pm and only a low chance of isolated or thundery showers.
• Forecasters say Sunday will be cooler with more cloud and a higher chance of scattered showers across Lancashire, with many places seeing daytime highs drop toward the low 20s.
• Bolton faces a stronger risk of rain than other areas with forecasters putting the chance of rain at about 50% by Saturday mid‑afternoon and roughly 60% in the early hours of Sunday.
• Winds will pick up from the south‑southwest to around 15mph in parts of the region, and overnight temperatures on Saturday will stay mild at about 16–18°C in East Lancashire.
• The weekend change ends a run of unusually high temperatures earlier this week and means organisers and residents should carry sun protection for Saturday and be prepared for showers and windier, cooler weather on Sunday.
