"WTF man": Moment sudden downpour floods Market Street as shoppers dodge

A sudden downpour in Manchester city centre left Market Street flooded — and shoppers dodging a huge puddle.

Photos and videos sent to the Manchester Evening News this afternoon (April 29) show the huge puddle beside the Market Street Metrolink stop, next to the former Debenhams store. Shoppers can be seen dodging the puddle of brown water.

The heavens opened above town at roughly 4:30pm, with monsoon conditions appearing just after 5pm. Drizzle then continued for the rest of the hour, before spots of sun poked through the clouds shortly after 6pm.
