Oldham Weather Forecast: No Rain Expected from Thursday 16 July to Sunday 19 July

The prolonged spell of dry weather is set to continue across Oldham, with little sign of meaningful rainfall over the coming days. High pressure remains firmly in control, bringing another period of warm temperatures, sunny spells, and below-average rainfall. While a slight change in wind direction will make conditions feel a little fresher by the weekend, the overall weather pattern remains settled. Many parts of the area have now gone several weeks without significant rainfall, leaving gardens, parks, and open spaces noticeably dry. Current forecast models suggest this pattern is likely to continue, with sunshine dominating the forecast from Thursday through Sunday. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities, travelling, or simply checking the weather before heading out, here’s everything you need to know for the days ahead.

Thursday will bring another pleasant summer day across Oldham. Any early cloud is expected to clear during the morning, allowing long periods of sunshine to develop across the area. Some hazy sunshine may be noticeable at times, but it is unlikely to spoil outdoor plans. Temperatures will climb to around 27°C, making it one of the warmest days of the forecast period. Winds remain fairly light from the east at around 15 mph, helping conditions feel comfortable despite the warmth. Rain is not expected, and humidity levels should remain lower than earlier in the week, making the afternoon feel less oppressive.

Friday continues the same settled pattern, with high pressure maintaining dry and stable weather across Oldham. Expect another bright start followed by plenty of sunshine through the afternoon. A few fair-weather clouds may develop, but these will have little impact on the overall conditions. Daytime temperatures will reach 26°C, while overnight values drop to around 11°C, making Friday night the coolest of the forecast period. Northeasterly winds may become a little stronger, with gusts reaching around 20 mph, adding a refreshing feel during the evening.

The weekend marks the end of the recent hot spell, although conditions will remain pleasant and largely dry.

Saturday

Saturday sees slightly cooler air moving into the region as winds turn more northerly. Despite the lower temperatures, it will still be an enjoyable summer day with plenty of sunshine and only a few fair-weather clouds. Afternoon highs are expected to reach 22°C, providing comfortable conditions for walking, sports, gardening, or family outings.

Sunday

Sunday follows a very similar pattern, with sunny spells, light cloud, and continued dry weather for most areas. A very isolated shower cannot be completely ruled out over higher ground, but for Oldham itself, the likelihood of rain remains extremely low. Temperatures will remain close to 22°C, with a slightly milder night compared to Saturday.
