Liverpool weather to get even wetter as Storm Hannah brings Saturday downpours

Anyone hoping that the bad weather experienced on Friday was a one off is in for disappointment.

The Met Office is forecasting heavy to light rain throughout Saturday, with no chance of a break in the clouds.

Scousers will need to wrap up a little warmer too as temperatures drop as low as 7 degrees across parts of the day, miles away from the 22°C temperatures enjoyed over the Easter bank holiday .

The bad weather can be traced back to Storm Hannah , the eighth storm of the season, which is set to bring rain and thunder across the UK.

It comes from an extreme area of low pressure making its way across the UK, forcing temperatures down and rain to fall. Elsewhere across the UK thunderstorms are expected, but none will be visiting Merseyside.

Heavy gusts of wind are expected to batter the city as storm begins to cross the Irish Sea and make its way into the UK mainland.

Ireland and South-West Wales are expected to be the worst affected. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning across the entire south of Wales.

Sunday will be a little brighter, with heavy cloud and rain easing off throughout the day. The chance of rain will drop below 5% in the middle of the day, giving scousers a chance to dry off after the wet first half of the weekend.

Frank Saunders, a Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "Storm Hannah will move away from the UK during Saturday followed by a transient ridge of high pressure bringing more settled weather to the UK for Sunday."
