A deep area of low pressure swept across the north of the UK bringing heavy rain and strong winds
Forecasters said there are chances of 'wintry showers' across parts of the north west amid a yellow weather warning for wind.
Heavy rain and gusts of around 50mph were forecast for parts of the north, including the Greater Manchester region for most of Sunday morning. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders, said: “Frequent blustery showers may merge into a longer spell of rain for a time in the far north and northwest. Those showers could turn to snow on the hills in the northwest of Scotland on Saturday evening, and then overnight and into Sunday.
“In addition, squally showers are likely with some hail and thunder possible in places. A Yellow National Severe Weather Warning is in place, covering a large swathe of the UK.”
