Manchester weather forecast as yellow thunderstorm warning issued for large parts of the UK

Following a night of heavy rain, some parts of the UK have been issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms.

Some of the major cities covered by the warning from 2pm today until 2am tomorrow include Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, Worcester, Gloucester, Bath, and Salisbury. It means there will likely be delays to some public transport services as well as potential damage to some buildings and structures either from lightning strikes or strong winds.

The Environment Agency has also implemented three flood alert warnings for Lower Dove Brooks in Staffordshire, River Maun in Nottinghamshire, and River Plym and Tory Brook. Meanwhile, Greater Manchester will see dry weather for most of the day with moderately high temperatures peaking at 24C for a large portion of the afternoon.
