Residents in Macclesfield should prepare for a wet and blustery day on Wednesday 13 May 2026, as the Met Office has forecast heavy rain and strong wind gusts throughout the area.
The weather service indicates a very high probability of heavy showers, with a 95 per cent chance of rain persisting from 6am through to 11am, and very likely rain continuing at lower probabilities from midday until the evening. In addition to the rain, wind gusts are expected to reach up to 37mph, which may cause travel disruption across the region.

Due to the chilly winds, the temperature will feel closer to 3°C during the early morning hours, leading to a cold start for those heading out early.
