Both bbc weather shaw and met office weather shaw point to temperatures holding around average for late February, though any clearer spells could bring a touch of frost overnight.
Does Shaw get more rain than central Manchester?
Yes, generally. Shaw’s higher ground and position near the Pennine foothills mean it catches a little more rainfall than the city centre, particularly when south-westerly winds push moisture up the hillside.
Is the weather in Shaw affected by the Pennines?
Definitely. The Pennines act as a barrier, squeezing extra rain from passing weather systems and occasionally keeping Shaw cloudier for longer than lower-lying areas to the west. This also means snow can linger a day longer in spring.
