Heavy rainfall is expected to sweep across Salford this Saturday, with the “meteorological summer is ending on a wet and windy note.”
Rainfall is expected throughout the weekend, with rainfall expected to begin this evening and continue into Saturday.
The Met Office weather map also forecasted that the rainfall in Salford will be heaviest on Saturday afternoon, with rain set to begin at 2.30pm.
They said on their website: “Showers continuing through this evening and overnight, especially in the west mixed with occasional clear spells.
“A few showers first thing, then turning increasingly cloudy from the west with outbreaks of rain sweeping through during the afternoon accompanied by stronger winds.”
And with combination of strong winds, residents could see rainfall reach speeds of 4-6mm of water per hour.
Salford residents should also be aware the forecast indicates that winds gusts could be as high as 34mph.
And recent settled and warm weather, which has helped put the UK on track to having its warmest summer on record, has now been subsided and replaced with more unsettled and changeable weather.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: “A westerly regime is now in charge of the UK’s weather and will help fuel periods of wet and windy weather over the next few days.
“With showers and some longer spells of rain likely for much of the UK on Thursday and Friday.
He continued: “While many areas may welcome some rain after fairly prolonged dry weather.
“There’s a potential that over the next few days some parts of Wales, northwest England and western Scotland could see some impacts at times, which we’ll be keeping an eye on.”
