The weather is set to be cloudy with showers for Merseyside, for the majority of the week.
Thanks to a active jet stream – which plays a crucial role in driving weather systems towards the UK – there will be plenty of unsettled weather. According to the Met Office, the jet stream will bring spells of showers and wind for much of the country.
This includes Liverpool and Merseyside, as the region is set to be breezy and wet. Starting the week on Monday, May 23, there will be plenty of cloud and the odd spot of rain.

There will be bright spells throughout the day but showers are set to become fairly widespread and even thundery in places in the afternoon. It will be colder than it has been recently, with highs of only 15C.
Tuesday will be much of the same, a cloud and wet start across the region. The wind is set to arrive on on Wednesday with early rain clearing to sunshine and showers.
This trend will continue into Thursday and Friday, with lighter winds expected over the weekend. Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Rudman said: "The strengthening of the jet stream increases the chances of low-pressure systems developing over the Atlantic being pushed towards the UK.
"Although there are still some details to be determined on the depth and timings of these lows, what we do know is that there’s some unsettled weather on the way next week, with some strong winds likely from the middle the week, especially in the north. Weather of this nature isn’t unusual in a UK spring, with changes in the jet stream frequently bringing interludes of unsettled weather."
