Liverpool weather: sunshine set to be broken up by drizzle

Former tropical storm Alex is continuing to cause unsettled weather across the country.

Here in Merseyside, it means that the region will see a mixture of bright days, broken up by windy and cloudy patches. For the south of the country, it means highs of 23C.

According to the Met Office, Liverpool will see sunny spells today on Thursday, June 9. Into the afternoon, clouds will appear and light patches of rain are expected. It will still be fairly warm however, with highs of 17C.

This trend carries on for the rest of the week, with bright and breezy days being hit by a few showers. Over the weekend, it is predicted to stay mostly dry with sunny periods and occasional cloudier spells.

The unsettled theme is to continue for most later this week when the remnants of Ex-Tropical Storm Alex, which brought heavy rain to southern Florida earlier on, tracks to the northwest of the UK and will bring with it some strong winds and showers.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin said: "By the time the system that was Tropical Storm Alex gets near UK shores, it will have transitioned into a mature Atlantic low. Although no longer a named storm, it will bring some unseasonably strong winds across the northern half of the UK – especially to the northwest on Friday and Saturday.

"The track of the low-pressure system currently looks to be grazing the far northwest of the UK on Friday and Saturday and, although the details are still being worked out, winds are likely to reach around 45mph for many areas in the north of the UK, with a chance of some gusts in excess of 55mph in some exposed northwestern island and coastal areas."
