When thunderstorms and heavy rain are forecast to hit your area of Greater Manchester today

Brace yourselves.

More heavy showers and thunderstorms are set to hit Greater Manchester today.

There is currently a yellow weather warning of heavy rain for the region until midnight.

The Met Office say scattered heavy showers, thunderstorms and torrential downpours may cause some transport disruption and flooding.

Forecasters have warned of the potential for up to 50mm of rain to fall in just an hour or two.

This comes after a more than a month's rain fell in 24 hours last week, causing flooding chaos across the region.

Several major roads were closed and houses were flooded after over a dozen flood warning were issued.

Residents in Marple in Stockport have been given advice about what to do in the event of flooding as work continues to repair the striken dam above nearby Whaley Bridge.

This is when heavy rain is expected to arrive in your borough on Sunday according to the Met Office:
