The current Met Office forecast puts the chance of a shower at no higher than 5 per cent today (Monday) - until around about 6pm, when the forecast is for a 30 per cent chance of showers throughout the night. The possibility of rain tomorrow (Tuesday) goes back down to less than five per cent, but on Wednesday and Thursday morning the chance of rain goes up to 15 percent, with the possibility of heavy showers throughout Thursday. The possibility of rain remains around 10 per cent on Friday and Saturday, with a lot more cloud cover forecast than in recent days. Next Sunday, and Monday, the possibility of rain is hovering around 15 per cent again - especially overnight. But the first proper forecast for rain comes next Tuesday (July 17) with the Met Office predicting a more than 20 per cent chance of heavy showers in Greater Manchester throughout the day, especially from early morning to lunchtime. A Met Office Amber health warning for heatwave conditions remains in place across Greater Manchester until Monday morning. An amber warning is the second highest on the scale, with a red warning the next level up from this current warning. But it looks like today will be the last of the very hot and sunny days, as changes begin to appear from Monday. The Met Office outlook for Monday to Friday in Manchester is one of more cloud - though still with some sunny spells. Temperatures will also come down a notch from the almost-record highs experienced in recent weeks, ranging from 21C to 24C. It will remain dry though with no rain forecast for the foreseeable - bad news for the crews tackling to ongoing moorland fires. England saw its hottest day of the year so far, with a provisional temperature of 32.4C (90F) recorded in Gosport, Hampshire, on Sunday, the Met Office said. Monday looks set to be the 16th consecutive day of temperatures over 28C (82F), making the scorching spell the longest the UK has seen since 2013, when there were 19 consecutive days of temperatures over 28C. But a cool front making its way south from Scotland will see temperatures drop to the low-to-mid 20s for much of England from Tuesday, Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell said.

After one of the driest Junes on record, there is a chance of some isolated showers across England this week, Ms Mitchell said. Water companies have urged people to use water sparingly to avoid a potential hosepipe ban as they pump billions of extra litres to meet intense demand. United Utilities - which serves the North West - said it "urgently needed help and support" to stop a ban from coming into force. Meanwhile, a hosepipe ban is into its second week in Northern Ireland and another was introduced across the whole of Ireland on Friday. Ms Mitchell said: "The weather front draped across parts of the north west is slowly sinking itself south as the day (Sunday) goes on. "Temperatures are going to cool down a bit and we're going to see fresher conditions. "It will still be very warm, less hot than recently, with the risk across the country for showers. "A bit of rain could be quite welcome for some people, particularly across the south." For much of England and Wales, last month was one of the top five driest Junes on record. Some parts of south-east and central southern England saw just 6% of expected rainfall, according to Met Office provisional figures. Got a story or an issue you want us to investigate?

Temperatures are set to peak at 26C today, and at 27C tomorrow, according to the Met Office. As the new working week continues, highs are then expected to fall slightly, to the low 20Cs. There is still no sign of any rain though. A Met Office Amber health warning for heatwave conditions is in place across Greater Manchester until Monday morning. An amber warning is the second highest on the scale, with a red warning the next level up from this current warning. Tuesday is expected to be cloudy, but firefighters tackling the huge moorland fires in Saddleworth and Winter Hill are not expected to get the downpour they are hoping for during the rest of the week. With no rainfall forecast for the rest of the week, we may begin to hear more about a possible hosepipe ban. But for those enjoying the summer weather it will be another pleasant week. This is what the forecast is looking like for the next few days, day-by-day: Today A dry day, with plenty of clear blue skies and sunshine across the region Staying fine and dry into the evening.
