Drivers are being warned to take extra care on the roads as flooding is likely in parts of the UK on Tuesday (January 10), including Greater Manchester.
Persistent heavy rain will hit the region today, according to the Met Office, and a yellow weather warning is in place from 6am to 8pm. The adverse weather is expected to bring delays to bus and train services, along with more traffic amid spray and flooding on roads.
The Met Office has also warned that 'flooding of a few homes and business is likely', and there could be 'some interruption to power supplies and other services'. Christopher Martin, National Highways Regional Operations Manager, said:“Even light or moderate rain can have an impact on visibility and vehicle performance, so it’s important to adjust your driving behaviour and take extra care.
