Today’s weather in Manchester, UK: a forecast is not a ten-year extreme
Today’s Manchester weather here isn’t a live forecast. Explore ten-year temperature extremes, September averages, and what can’t be confirmed for rain, wind or warnings.
Today’s temperature, rainfall and wind in Manchester are not verified here. The historical figures below are not a live forecast and cannot establish whether it is raining now, what tonight will bring or whether a weather warning is active.
Manchester’s ten-year temperature extremes
The highest temperature in the record was 36.1°C, and the lowest was -7.8°C, according to Open-Meteo.com (ERA5, Copernicus). The reporting period runs from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2026. These are historical extremes, not expected temperatures for today.

September’s average high was 18.5°C
For September 2026, the average high was 18.5°C, compared with a September baseline of 17.7°C: a difference of 0.8°C. These figures come from the same Open-Meteo.com archive. They describe that month, rather than current conditions.
Time scale matters when comparing temperatures. A single afternoon reading, a monthly average high and a ten-year maximum answer different questions. Comparing today’s reading with a record extreme can make ordinary conditions seem unusually mild; a matching monthly baseline is the more relevant comparison.
What remains unconfirmed for today
No current observation or dated forecast is published here. Rain probability, feels-like temperature, wind gusts and warning status therefore remain unconfirmed. For travel or outdoor plans, check a current Manchester forecast and its validity time rather than treating these historical measurements as today’s outlook.
