Forecasters have issued a new weather warning for Greater Manchester as Storm Babet leaves its mark across the country. The second named storm of the season arrived this week, with some parts of the country hit by strong winds and heavy rain.
While some parts of the UK have been hit with flooding, Greater Manchester has avoided the worst of the weather so far. But the Met Office has now issued an upgraded weather warning for the region, with heavy rain expected to arrive.
An amber warning for rain will come into force at midday tomorrow (October 20) and last until 6am on Saturday. The Met Office says areas covered by the warning should expect 'persistent heavy rain' with the 'likelihood of some flooding and disruption'.
