When rain is set to stop in Manchester as yellow weather warning issued
manchestereveningnews.co.ukIt’s set to be wet for the remainder of the weekend in Greater Manchester today — but it will stop raining soon. The Met Office is forecasting either heavy or light rain throughout Sunday (July 23), but believes the wet weather will come to an end within 24 hours.
It says clouds and sun will be in the city at 8am on Monday (July 24) — just in time for the start of the working week. The news will not be welcomed by England cricket fans, as they would like a dry patch to see if Ben Stokes’ team can defeat Australia at Emirates Old Trafford.
