Bolton residents can look forward to a week of sunny weather starting Friday, May 22, 2026, though locals should prepare for high ultraviolet levels as temperatures remain warm through the Bank Holiday weekend.
According to the Met Office, Bolton will see sunny conditions from Friday through Thursday, May 28, 2026. Temperatures will range from 20°C on Saturday to a high of 26°C by next Thursday. Light rain is expected in the early hours of Saturday morning, but the weather should clear by mid-morning, with sunny intervals and sunshine by the afternoon.
Across the country, the weekend is anticipated to be exceptionally warm, with parts of southern England and the Midlands potentially reaching 33°C. This level of heat is high enough that the Met Office indicates existing national temperature records for May could be broken. The UK Health Security Agency has issued amber heat-health alerts for five regions of England in response to the forecast.
For those planning to spend time outdoors in Bolton, the Met Office advises that UV levels will be high throughout the week. Residents are encouraged to seek shade during midday hours, cover up, and wear sunscreen to stay safe. Additionally, pollen levels are expected to remain low until Monday, before rising to moderate levels on Tuesday.
