A Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms is in place on Saturday
Manchester and the rest of the UK has been blessed with dry, sunny, and warm weather for some time now. And while many have woken up today again to blue skies this could all come to an abrupt end later today.
However, on Thursday this warning was extended with thunderstorms expected to hit the whole region over this weekend. Today's warning is in place from 2pm to 9pm today.The Met Office warning says: "Whilst many places will be largely dry, thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail are likely to develop in some places on Saturday afternoon." It adds that this could cause areas to flood quickly and possible delays to the road network due to this.
But, the Met Office predicts around 4pm to 6pm rain and thunder and lightning could hit this area within the warning zone. This isn't expected for long, with the dry weather returning for the rest of the evening, although there may be a lack of sun.
