A weather warning has been issued for Greater Manchester as winds of up to 80mph are expected to hit the UK. The yellow wind warning will come into force on Wednesday and affects large parts of the country.
According to the Met Office, there is a chance that the strong winds could be 'significantly disruptive' and could affect travel. They say there is also a slight risk of damage to buildings, as well as power cuts. Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will auto-play soon8Cancel Play now .
The Met Office said: "A deep area of low pressure is expected to approach southwest Ireland early on Wednesday, and track across northern parts of the UK before clearing early Thursday. "There is some uncertainty on the precise track and depth of the low, however the most likely outcome at present is for a wide swathe of 50 to 60 mph gusts to affect inland areas, perhaps locally stronger over and to the lee of hills in the north. Some Irish Sea coasts could see gusts of 65 to 75 mph, with a small chance of 80 mph gusts on the most exposed coasts and headlands."
