People across Greater Manchester have been warned not to travel unless necessary during next week’s heatwave.
Earlier today, the Met Office issued its first ever red extreme heat weather warning and heatwave national emergency covering much of England on Monday and Tuesday next week, with temperatures expected to soar past 35c in Manchester.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has now asked people to avoid travelling across the city-region, unless necessary. Those needing to travel have been advised to allow extra time for journeys and to ‘stay hydrated’.
