More heavy rain is on its way to Merseyside in what could be one of the wettest Mays on record in the UK.
The next stage of the government's roadmap for lifting lockdown restrictions on May 17 could not have come at a better time, as people are now able to go inside pubs and restaurants and shelter from the wet weather.
It has been a particularly rainy month, with 91 per cent of the UK’s expected rainfall for the entire month (63.5mm) having already fallen by Friday.
The UK's wettest May on record was in 1967 when 131.7mm of rain fell across the country.
Unfortunately, the wet weather does not show any signs of stopping just yet, with tomorrow and some of the weekend also expected to be a wash out.
According to the Met Office, rain is forecast from around 9am tomorrow before turning into heavy downpours by 11am.
