AFTER a cold start, temperatures have climbed this morning into the double figures in celsius.

Clear skies are set to make way for dark clouds as the morning goes on, but the rain should hold off throughout the day.

We should see some late-afternoon sunshine in Bolton though temperatures are unlikely to go above 12C - a little disappointing considering London was enjoying highs of 26C this time last year.

However, it could be worse, and indeed, it is set to get worse.

After a dark and cloudy start to Wednesday, rain is set to follow in the afternoon and will stick around until Saturday.
