On that day, the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, put parts of the Greater Manchester area under a general weather warning.
Heavy rain, thunder and lightning were also battering parts of Greater Manchester, roads were flooded and trees felled on various paths.
Warm temperatures the previous weekend had been tempered by rain, which flooded the platforms at the city’s Piccadilly station and caused major delays for commuters.
Manchester City’s victory bid after winning the Champions League was also delayed due to the weather.
