But forecasters now predict thunderstorms and heavy rain could be on the way with three weather warnings set in place.

Yellow warnings for thunderstorms will cover large parts of the UK, including Greater Manchester, from this morning onwards (Sunday, May 12).

The warning covering our region will come into effect at 1pm and will last until 11pm.

The weather service said the warning could leave spray and sudden flooding leading to difficult driving conditions. This could also affect trains and buses while power cuts may take place.

The Met Office said: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms could lead to some disruption in places, especially to travel. Isolated property flooding is possible."
