Greater Manchester weather forecast today: Sunny intervals and showers in store

It's Thursday and fortunately the weather is starting to pick up.

While more rain is on the way for every Greater Manchester borough today, it won't be as persistent as the showers seen so far this week. And each borough should feel a bit brighter, with some sunny intervals forecast throughout the day in most places.

Oldham will see the coldest temperatures, dropping below double figures at 9C this morning. Meanwhile Manchester, Trafford and Wigan will see the warmest temperatures, peaking at 16C into the afternoon.

Downpours will hit most boroughs at around lunchtime or just afterwards, with the rain clearing up at around 6pm at the latest for most places. Stockport, Tameside and Trafford will see some light showers overnight, according to the Met Office's forecast.
