As the Jubilee weekend reaches its climax, the Met Office has warned that all boroughs across Greater Manchester could be hit by thunderstorms and bad weather for the whole day. A yellow thunderstorm weather warning has been issued for large parts of England, including the North West and Greater Manchester.
The yellow warning will be in place for Sunday, June 5 from 12am to 6pm. The storms run the risk of causing flooding to homes and businesses with potential damage to some buildings from floodwater and lightning strikes. In areas where flooding or lightning may occur, delays to train and bus services will be expected.
Rebekah Sherwin, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, commented: "There remains some uncertainty on how far north it will stretch but southern areas are likely to see a spell of showers on Saturday and Sunday, which could turn heavy and thundery at times.
"However, there will also be some breaks in the cloud even here, and northern areas are most likely to stay fine and dry."
