Met Office weather forecast for Bolton this weekend

Overnight into Saturday will mark a shift as temperatures drop to or slightly below freezing, consequently forming widespread frost and icy patches on untreated surfaces early Saturday.

Despite a sunny or bright Saturday, temperatures will only peak to around 5°C to 7°C.

Hence, the chill in any wind will remain noticeable.

Northern or north-easterly winds are likely to be light to moderate throughout the day.

Looking ahead to Sunday, as a new weather system arrives, the Met Office warns of the return of rain and the probability of hill snow before temperatures start to climb again.

Areas north and west of the town, potentially those elevated, can initially experience sleet or snow precipitation, which will later turn into rain.

Temperatures are set to increase slightly, peaking between 6°C and 8°C.

But, with periods of rain, a freshening breeze, and saturated ground, the day will still feel cool and raw rather than genuinely milder.

On high-altitude routes, low cloud, rain, hill fog, and patchy hill snow may occasionally reduce visibility.

Nonetheless, extensive disruptive snow at lower levels in the town is not strongly suggested.
