Oldham weekend weather: Cool, cloudy and damp forecast

Oldham residents should prepare for a thoroughly damp and chilly weekend ahead, with persistent cloud cover and light rain making outdoor plans tricky. Saturday starts cold at 3-4C with a light easterly breeze and scattered showers, becoming more likely by dawn. The day stays overcast with temperatures peaking at just 8C, and light rain or drizzle continuing through the afternoon before easing off by 5pm.

Sunday offers little improvement, beginning cloudy with scattered light showers and temperatures between 4-7C. The morning continues damp with occasional showers, though by midday we might see brief sunny spells breaking through the clouds. Afternoon conditions remain mixed with dry periods interspersed with isolated showers, and temperatures hovering around 8C.

The evening brings more of the same-mostly dry but overcast with lingering light showers and a risk of patchy mist or low cloud developing. Winds should ease towards nightfall, but the overall picture remains one of cool, damp conditions that could affect everything from weekend shopping trips to Sunday afternoon walks in the park. Warm layers and waterproofs will be essential if you're venturing out.
