As Manchester is further north, it is slightly colder than the South of the UK. However, summers can be quite mild with July and August being the warmest months, where temperatures average about 19 degrees. The coldest months are December and January. Winters can be wet and rainy, and there can also be the occasional snow shower.

Despite the cold and rainy weather, Manchester can still be very enjoyable in the winter, especially during the Christmas period when everything feels very festive. If you prefer warmer weather, visit Manchester in the summer when the temperatures are far more pleasant.
