Flood alerts issued for Greater Manchester following thunderstorm with MORE rain forecast

A number of flood alerts remain in place for Greater Manchester following a huge thunderstorm.

The thunderstorm yesterday (Sunday) brought 'monsoon rain' to our region and caused roads to become flooded, delays on public transport and even left an elderly woman stranded in her house. And though weather conditions appear brighter this morning, forecasters predict more rain will hit later today.

The Environment Agency issued multiple flood alerts yesterday 'pre-emptively' ahead of the thunderstorm, and ahead of further rainfall today. Five alerts remain in place.
