Oldham weather expert Jon Baylis is still abroad sunning himself at present, so it's a shorter than usual forecast ahead of the weekend.

It's a pleasant forecast, however, with more in the way of sunshine to continue, with fresh nights and high UV levels.

Today (Thursday): Again, we will have some cloud to burn off during the morning.

Jon expects this to happen a bit quicker than it did yesterday.

A north easterly breeze is in place but it's still very pleasant, once that sun makes an appearance.

Max 18-20°C.

Friday: Any early-cloud melts away to bring a lovely sunny day with a north-easterly breeze.

Max 20°C.

Weekend: Hopefully safe to say, wall-to-wall sunshine from the word go.

Still the north-easterly wind remains.

Max 21°C.
