Flood and thunderstorm warning issued as a MONTH's worth of rain to fall amid Champions League final

The Met Office has issued a new amber weather warning for this evening - as huge events take place across Greater Manchester.

Heavy showers and thunderstorms are forecast to roll in from 5.45pm until 9pm this evening, with weather warning now being put in place across the north west this evening. The bad weather comes in as Manchester's biggest festival, Parklife, is in full swing and the UEFA Champions League final is soon to kick off.

'Flooding is likely and could happen quickly', the Met Office has warned this evening (June 10) - and floodwater could even 'cause danger to life', says the forecaster. A month's worth of rain is expected to fall over the course of just a few hours.
