An unsettled week is on the forecast for Merseyside, as the region is set to be hit with more sunny spells and heavy rain.
The start of the week has been a thundery one and that's likely to continue into today. More thundery showers and gusty winds are predicted this afternoon, from 2pm onwards.
It will still feel rather warm though, as the Met Office reports highs of around 22C and sunny spells between rain. Winds will fall in the evening and there'll be breezy conditions into the night.

Tomorrow, on Thursday, September 8, there'll be another day of sunny spells and scattered showers, these again potentially heavy and thundery. The weather will remain unsettled with further heavy showers on Friday.
Looking further ahead to the weekend, there are signs that a ridge of higher pressure could form for a time, allowing the weather to settle down. From Sunday onwards there is significant uncertainty in the forecast, as Alex explains: “At the moment Saturday looks like being a largely dry day across the UK. Still a few showers here and there but turning drier.
“However, there's another area of low pressure which is gaining quite a bit of attention. This one is bringing quite a bit of uncertainty into the forecast. It's Hurricane Danielle in the subtropics now, as it drifts northwards it will no longer be a hurricane. But when you've got these highly energetic systems, it does make the forecast more complicated. It brings with it more uncertainty.”
