THIS morning’s dry, bright start is unfortunately deceptive, because there is likely to be rain on the way.

While it will be dry and bright at first, the Met Office is predicting showers in Bolton from 12pm onwards – although temperatures will remain at a warm 15 degrees.

This afternoon it will cloud over with patchy rain spreading in from the west, which will be heavier over the hills.

There will be patchy outbreaks of rain throughout this evening and into the night and it will remain rather cloudy with some isolated showers possible by morning.
