Liverpool is set for some 'tropical warm air' this week but there will be a risk of scattered showers also.
The country is being hit by the former tropical storm Alex, meaning heavy rain is predicted, but also some hot temperatures. It has been an unsettled week this far but on Thursday, the weather is expected to become more consistent.
According to the Met Office, the tropical air heading our way later this week will mean Thursday and Friday will be warm, and there will be less chance of heavy rain. Met Office forecaster Darren Bett said: "There is going to be some tropical air heading our way later this week.

"It certainly felt a bit warmer I think on Tuesday with more sunshine around and winds fairly light as well and throughout the rest of the week it is still going to be quite warm, temperatures aren’t going to change an awful lot and there isn’t a great deal of rain in the forecast."
He added: "There are some weather fronts heading our way, most of the rain is probably coming in overnight and through Wednesday on that weather front there and an area of low pressure.
"That band of rain does move away from eastern parts of England but the rain will get stuck really across the central belt of Scotland so a cooler day here on Wednesday. Some cloud, rain, pushing back into Northern Ireland, England and Wales seeing some sunshine and showers.
"Still some heavy ones in eastern parts of England on Wednesday afternoon as the showers become fewer in Wales and the south west. And temperatures getting up to 21C, a little cooler perhaps than Tuesday."
