Sizzling temperatures have cooled in Greater Manchester with the recent heatwave coming to a halt.
Glorious sunshine basked over the region for much of the past week, with temperatures climbing to around 30C.
But the region saw a change in conditions on Saturday (June 21) with spells of rain, amid a UK warning for thunderstorms which saw parts of the country further north badly hit.
The Met Office is forecasting much cooler temperatures over the coming days compared to last week.
Highs of 21C are forecast in Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Trafford today (Sunday), 19C in Oldham, and 20C in the rest of the region.
Frequent showers are forecast across the day, with periods of heavy rain also forecast this afternoon.

The Met Office expects Monday to be mostly dry and cloudy, with sunny intervals in the afternoon before an overcast night.
