More rain is on the way
Storm Benjamin has battered the UK and while it seems the worst is over the Met Office has warned that more rain is on the way.
Conditions are set to remain unsettled next week, with chilly weather expected to hit Greater Manchester. Saturday has seen mostly dry conditions with sunny spells, but feeling colder than Friday due to northerly winds.
So far, it has been a crisp autumn day.
It comes as some parts of the UK are expected to see flurries of snow and hail this weekend. Wintry conditions are expected in parts of Scotland on Saturday night (October 26) and throughout Sunday.
While Manchester is not expected to see any snow, cold conditions will continue.
