Fears of weather 'washout' as up to month's worth of rain could fall in parts of UK this weekend
Greater Manchester is bracing itself for a very damp weekend as forecasters warn almost a month's worth of rain could fall in just 48 hours in parts of the UK.
Stephen Dixon, a spokesman with Met Office, said: "In 48 hours from Saturday, we could get up to 60mm in places, such as western areas so parts of Scotland, west Wales and potentially parts of northern England."The average rainfall for the UK for July is 82.5mm, but that's the average and it rains more, typically, in some places, like Scotland, anyway."
It is likely to remain drier, becoming cloudy with some sunny intervals later in the afternoon and into the evening. Temperatures will peak at a fairly cool 17C. It's bad news with fears the fourth day of the cricket test match between England and Australia being played at Lancashire's Emirates Old Trafford could be washed out. And others with outdoor plans are being told to make contingencies.
