Wet and windy conditions will arrive\"HeavyHeavy rain is set to hit Greater Manchester tonight – on the eve of Storm Amy(Image: Met Office)<\/p>\n

Storm Amy is set to sweep the UK<\/a> this weekend with fierce winds and spells of heavy rain.<\/p>\n

But Greater Manchester is expected to see a taste of what’s to come tonight (October 2), with the Met Office<\/a> forecasting a nine-hour spell of rain and wind speeds picking up.<\/p>\n

A yellow weather<\/a> warning for strong wind covers a large area of the UK from 6pm on Friday until 11.59pm on Saturday, with some parts of the North West included<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester avoids the warning – but the region is still expected to be hit by the elements over the coming days.<\/p>\n

Forecasters expect a dry start to today (Thursday), with sunny intervals throughout the morning and lunchtime, as temperatures climb to 18C by 3pm.<\/p>\n

Thicker clouds are expected to form as the afternoon goes on, before light rain begins to fall this evening.<\/p>\n

The Met Office expects that rain to turn heavier by 8pm, with downpours forecast until the early hours of Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Strong winds are also expected, with gust speeds increasing throughout the evening, to a forecasted peak of 39mph in Manchester at 11pm.<\/p>\n

Those stormy conditions are expected to ease during the early hours of Friday morning, when temperatures will be mild at around 13C in Manchester.<\/p>\n

Storm Amy’s arrival is expected on Friday, with gusts possibly exceeding 80mph in the worst affected areas of the UK, according to the Met Office.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester is not expected to see gusts anywhere near that speed, but forecasters say it will still be wet and windy later in the day and throughout Saturday.<\/p>\n
