Manchester City's open-top bus parade was affected by the storms but it certainly did not spoil the joyous celebrations across the city centre. Following the inclement conditions of Monday evening, Greater Manchester is expected to see a return of the dry and warm conditions of recent days and weeks.Giving details of today's forecast, the Met Office said: "Largely dry with long periods of warm sunshine, though still a risk of the odd shower in the afternoon which may be thundery.
On Wednesday, the Met Office says there will be plenty of sunshine, although temperatures will feel slightly more comfortable than in recent days. Temperatures could reach 27C.Elsewhere in the UK, yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms are in force for the western half of Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland between midday and 9pm today.
However, for most, it will be sizzling once again with the southwest of the country set to reach 30C. The rest of the UK will be in the mid to high 20s, with Britain set to be hotter than Barcelona , Berlin and Rome .
