The Met Office has warned of a possible 'danger to life' from flooding in an updated thunderstorm alert issued on Monday. The Greater Manchester region is braced for storms and heavy rainfall today as the recent heatwave comes to an end in spectacular style.
A yellow-coded weather warning for rain is in place across England and Wales from 10am until midnight tonight - August 15. Commuters are being advised to check their journeys before they travel.
Now in an updated warning, Met Office forecasters have warned flooding of homes and businesses could happen quickly, with the threat of damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds. "Fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a danger to life," said the warning. "Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services. "Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
Some communities might become cut off if roads flood. Power cuts might occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost." Greater Manchester is included in the yellow weather warning zone.
