The heavens opened over Manchester on Sunday afternoon (June 11) as heavy rain lashed down and thunder rumbled after a 23 day dry spell.
The region had been basking in blue skies and 30C temperatures earlier on Sunday before the thunderstorm that had previously been predicted by the Met Office.
A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms was put in place from midday until 9pm, covering the whole of Greater Manchester and the rest of the north west.

According to the past weather history, 2.7mm of rain last fell over Manchester on May 19. Before that, it last rained a month ago, on May 11.
A new weather warning has now been issued for the start of next week too, with the possibility of heavy rain hitting Greater Manchester again on Monday (June 12).
And those at the Parklife festival were even told to 'move three metres' away from large structures as Heaton Park braced for the thunderstorms to hit
Giving details of today's weather warning, the Met Office said: "High temperatures on Sunday will trigger showers and thunderstorms across the warning area, some of which are likely to be torrential , perhaps bringing a few places 30-40 mm in an hour.
"The odd place, affected by multiple showers, could see more than this, perhaps in excess of 60 mm in a few hours, most likely across Wales and central England.
"As well as rain, additional hazards will be hail, strong gusts of wind, and lightning. Despite this, some places in the warning area will remain dry, or see only small amounts of rain, due to the scattered nature of the heaviest showers."
The region has been seeing temperatures in the high 20s in recent days, with a yellow heat-health alert
