Greater Manchester is expected to see snow and experience freezing conditions this weekend with two weather warnings in place.
The Met Office has issued two amber alerts covering Greater Manchester. A warning of snow and ice runs from 6pm on Saturday (January 4) to midday on Sunday with snow and freezing rain ‘likely lead to disruption to transport and some other services’.
A second amber warning for snow is also in place from 9pm tonight until 11.59pm on Sunday, covering Greater Manchester and much of northern England. Snow will be ‘persistent and heavy at times’ with some areas likely to see 15-30 cm of snow before it clears.
A less-severe yellow weather warning for snow and ice is also in place covering much of England and Wales, which comes into force from 12pm today until 11.59pm on Sunday. Temperatures are expected to fall to 0° in some parts of the city-region over the weekend.
However, the ‘feels like’ temperature will fall as low as -4°. Below is the hour-by-hour forecast for each borough in Greater Manchester.
