Residents in Stockport can expect a mild but unsettled week ahead, with the Met Office predicting a mix of bright spells and scattered rain through 22 April 2026.
While daytime temperatures are expected to reach up to 16°C, which is slightly above the typical seasonal average for April, the weather will remain changeable. Friday 17 April is forecast to be the wettest day of the week, as a band of heavier rain sweeps eastwards across the region throughout the morning. Residents should prepare for persistent rain and wind gusts that could reach up to 30mph.
Conditions are expected to improve over the weekend. Saturday 18 April and Sunday 19 April will bring drier weather with sunny intervals and a significantly lower chance of rain, ranging between 10 and 30 per cent. This calmer trend is expected to continue into the following week.
Those who suffer from hay fever should be aware that birch pollen levels are currently high in Stockport. While these levels are expected to drop to moderate by Friday, it may still be worth taking precautions when spending time outdoors during the earlier part of the week.
