Residents in Stockport should prepare for a week of mixed weather, with temperatures expected to peak this weekend before cooling down significantly by mid-week. According to the Met Office, conditions will remain changeable, and those planning outdoor activities should be prepared for both rain and gusty conditions.

Saturday 9 May 2026 is expected to be the warmest day of the week, reaching a peak temperature of 18°C. However, the weather will not remain dry, with light showers forecast to develop during the afternoon. Residents should be aware that there is a 60 to 70 per cent chance of rain between 4pm and 7pm.

The weather will become notably cooler as the week progresses, with daytime temperatures dropping to 13°C by Wednesday 13 May and Thursday 14 May 2026. Winds are also set to strengthen, with gusts reaching up to 31mph on Tuesday 12 May and up to 34mph on Wednesday 13 May. This increase in wind speed is expected to make the air feel much cooler, with an estimated feels-like temperature of just 9°C on Wednesday.

The current outlook indicates that light showers will return on Wednesday and continue through the following days. The forecast, which was last updated on the morning of 8 May 2026, suggests that anyone heading outdoors throughout the coming week should consider bringing a jacket to stay comfortable in the changing conditions.
