Heavy rain will fall over Greater Manchester today as the remnants of Hurricane Ian hits the UK.
Strong winds are also forecast for our region as the Atlantic jet stream, strengthened by the warm tropical air pushed northwards by the hurricane on Florida's southwest coast, drives an area of low pressure across the country. The heaviest rain and strongest winds are expected across northern Scotland where weather warnings have been issued, according to the Met Office.
But a wet and windy day is expected for most on Friday. Forecasters predict the downpours will begin in Greater Manchester at around lunchtime.
