Storm Christoph: Major incident declared in Greater Manchester as torrential rain threatens flooding Chiara Giordano
Major incidents have been declared in the north of England in anticipation of heavy rainfall caused by Storm Christoph.
Both Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire confirmed major incidents on Tuesday after weather warnings for heavy downpours came into force across much of the UK.
Forecasters have warned the unsettled conditions could bring significant flooding, high winds and snowfall as the storm engulfs the country through the middle of the week.
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said the country will face a “timeline of hazards” this week, beginning with concerns over rainfall before low pressure potentially brings colder air and the risk of snow.
