Residents in Macclesfield can look forward to a week of largely dry and settled weather, according to the Met Office. The period from 26 April to 2 May 2026 offers ideal conditions for those planning outdoor activities before a shift in the weather arrives later in the month.
The week will see temperatures gradually climb, reaching a peak of 20°C by Friday, 1 May. While the majority of the week remains settled, Tuesday, 28 April, is expected to be the coolest day with a maximum of 15°C and a low of 4°C. Residents should expect overcast conditions and some light rain early on Tuesday morning.
Those heading outdoors should prepare for breezy conditions mid-week, as wind gusts are expected to reach 35mph on the afternoon of Wednesday, 29 April. Additionally, hay fever sufferers should take note that pollen levels in the area are forecast to rise from low on Tuesday to high by Thursday and Friday.
This dry spell is expected to last through the Early May Bank Holiday on Monday, 4 May, as noted by Leave Dates. However, long-range outlooks from the Met Office suggest that conditions will turn more changeable after the bank holiday weekend. Low pressure systems are expected to become more active from 4 May onwards, bringing an increased chance of showers, stronger winds, and cooler temperatures.
