Liverpool weather: Met Office forecast turning colder with chances of sleet and hail

Last week parts of the country were hotter than Ibiza and Barcelona, but that's all set to change.

The Met Office forecast says that it will be turning colder this week, with showers for most and some sleet and snow, particularly on high ground in the north. In Liverpool, wintry showers are predicted, with sleet a possibility, but snow is not expected to hit Merseyside.

Today we're likely to see the last of the sunshine with isolated showers across Liverpool. After sunny spells in the morning, cloud will appear in the afternoon but it will still feel relatively warm in the sun with a maximum temperature of 13C.

That changes tomorrow, on Wednesday, March 30, after showery rain overnight arriving from the north, it will be a cloudy morning. The Met Office predicts there will be outbreaks of rain, possibly mixed with some sleet or snow over the hills and it will feel much colder with maximum temperature of 8C.

From Thursday to Saturday, overnight frosts will lead to chilly mornings. Showers are expected to fall throughout the days, with these falling as a mixture of rain, sleet, hail and possibly snow at times in the high regions.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “We’re going to be seeing a marked shift in the weather for the UK in the coming week as the warm weather is displaced south.

“Temperatures will drop as cold air sweeps south with single figure maxima for most places from mid-week, and bringing with it the unsettled weather that we’ll see for much of the week. Some clear spells are still around later in the week, with the best of any sunshine likely to be in the south later in the week.”
