Heavy rain expected to hit Liverpool today

People will need to get their raincoats and umbrellas out today as rain is set to batter Merseyside.

Showers are forecast throughout the morning on Wednesday, October 12, and into the afternoon. There will be heavier outbreaks with a breeze across the more coastal areas.

The Met Office says temperatures will hit a maximum of 15C in the day and 5C into the evening. Patchy fog is possible into the night, with plenty of showers.

Early fog patches will soon clear on Thursday, leaving spells of sunshine for many through the day, before rain arrives towards evening.

Speaking in the Met Office Week Ahead forecast, Meteorologist and Presenter Aidan McGivern said: "The overall theme of the forecast is pretty evident, with low pressure towards the northwest of the UK at the end of this week with some wet and windy weather and quite a number of showers."

Friday is expected to be windy, with the highest gusts most likely in exposed coastal areas in the north. Aidan added: "It’ll be a blustery day for all on Friday and even though there’s some uncertainties about the position of the low pressure, what’s most likely is low-pressure to the north, a brisk westerly airflow and a number of showers."
