Morning has broken, and as Mancunians all over, erm, Manchester drew their curtains, they spotted something they haven’t seen for many weeks.
Not a sober Manchester Confidential reporter, nor a vacant car parking spot but the sun! And he’s got his blinkin’ hat on!
Don’t believe us? Look out the window. The bookies had shorter odds on the sun reappearing than Tom Bloxham going an entire day without winning an award.
PINT!That’s right, just in time for the end of summer, the sun has decided to reappear over our neck of the woods and brighten up lunchtimes. With temperatures soaring up to almost 20 degrees (!!!!!!), there might even still be time to get yourselves down to the beer gardens for a swift pint (

Local sun lover Daisy Davies was sat in Albert Square when the sun reappeared: “Have you ever seen Independence Day?” asked a startled Daisy, “I was about to run before I realised it was just the sun coming out.”
YELLOW BLOBMore akin to seeing clouds, miserable Mancunians were all set to start gearing up for Christmas, before the forgotten, yellow blob turned up in the skies.
The only downside now is that no doubt the motorways will melt and we’ll have to put up with numerous press articles on the dangers of standing outside in the sun for five minutes without a bin liner on.
Oasis and Mick Hucknall are now set to collaborate on a new single to commemorate the event, entitled ‘The Sun Sheeeeiiiiiinne’s Too Tight To Mensheeeun’
