....ROAD REPORTS: .. Network Mail is rebuilding the Greek Street roundabout bridge in Stockport and all railway lines through Stockport Station will be closed from Saturday 2nd August to Friday 22nd August - of course this affects  Buxton to Manchester trains, which will terminate at Hazel Grove - where a Rail Replacement bus service will be provided 2 way, between Hazel Grove Station and Manchester Piccadilly Station.  Thank you Chris Walters and Anne Wallace for the updates.
"Charles Street in Buxton will be closed on TWO days - Sunday July 13th and Sunday July 20th for Full Carriageway resurfacing - 1 day to plane surface off, 1 day to relay new surface." (it now seems that because of parked cars still on site, this job may take more days!) Thank you Sarah Rolland for the update.
AND ....ASHBOURNE - Beware if travelling north towards Buxton through Ashbourne "the normal roads used to travel north are closed!" - The A515 - that is Dig Street, Church Street and St John's Street as far as the Market Place turning, are all closed for roadwork's - so if you try to get through, cars will be diverted via Hall Lane and HGV's will be diverted via Matlock - best to avoid! - the roads website, say these works will be to September!
 AND  The B5470 Macclesfield to Whaley Bridge Road - a large sinkhole has closed this road near Bolshaws Tankers site - diversions in place through Pott Shrigley - likely closed until 2026!......

....................Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK Met Office.:
..........Sunday 20 Jul - Tuesday 29 Jul
Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. The first couple of days could well be particularly unsettled with heavy rain and/or thunderstorms in many areas. Into the following week, a general westerly type set-up looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to average out above normal and whilst brief hotter and humid days are possible, the chance of prolonged heat is lower than during the last few weeks. This broad pattern is likely to continue towards the end of July.
Wednesday 30 Jul - Wednesday 13 Aug
The end of July and first part of August will probably see a continuation of similar weather to the previous week or so - this being generally rather changeable with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. Towards mid-August, there are tentative signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which would bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely. Temperatures are expected to continue to run above average overall, with a greater likelihood, compared to the preceding couple of weeks, of very warm or hot spells to develop by mid-August, especially further south and east.....................
