The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for strong winds in parts of the west next week. Forecaster have warned that the blustery conditions could cause some disruption on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Boroughs on the west side of Greater Manchester, including Trafford, Wigan and Bolton, are covered by the warning, which comes into force at 3pm on Tuesday and lasts until 6am the following morning. Greater Manchester is forecast to see wind gusts of up to 34mph on Wednesday morning.
The Met Office said: "A developing area of low pressure running north through the Irish Sea is likely to bring a spell of strong winds, accompanied by some heavy rain, to parts of central and western England, Wales, southwest Scotland and the east of Northern Ireland. Gusts of 45-50 mph are possible inland and perhaps in excess of 60 mph for a time around some Irish Sea coastal areas."
