The last week has brought us changeable weather but as high pressure builds the temperature is set to rise.
Today Merseyside will see mostly dry weather with sunny spells expected. However in the evening there may be showers and drizzle overnight, according to the Met Office.
From now onwards though, forecasters say it will only get warmer, as high pressure builds across the southern half of the UK. The mercury will hit a maximum of 20C today and tomorrow, with it exceeding this in the coming days.

Thursday onwards will see the start of the dry weather. The Met Office predicts that it will be mostly dry from with plenty of sunshine on the cards.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin, said: "The influence of the high pressure is likely to continue across southern areas into the second week of July and at times could be more widespread.
"Temperatures are expected to be widely above average, especially across the south, with some areas seeing maxima in the high 20s, locally 30 Celsius by this weekend. Beyond that, the forecast becomes more uncertain and, while it may well continue warm, the extent, magnitude and duration of these above-average temperatures are not clear at this stage and won’t be known until closer to the time."
