Residents in Bolton can expect a week of mild and mostly settled weather as high pressure builds across the region. According to the Met Office, temperatures will range between 9°C and 15°C from 16 April to 22 April 2026.

Sunny intervals are expected to be the dominant feature throughout the coming days. While the week will remain largely pleasant, some rain is likely on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Windy conditions will also develop towards the end of the week, with gusts reaching 23mph on Thursday and peaking at 30mph on Friday afternoon.

The weekend appears to be a good time for outdoor plans, as the North West England regional forecast indicates that the building high pressure will lead to brighter and drier conditions. Both Saturday and Sunday are expected to feature sunny intervals with lighter winds, reaching maximum gusts of 20mph.

Those who suffer from hay fever should remain cautious, as birch pollen levels are currently high across the North West. While the levels are highest on Thursday, they are expected to remain moderate throughout the weekend. April is historically the driest month in Bolton, typically recording about 77mm of rainfall.
