It's set to be an unsettled week of weather across Merseyside as locals will enjoy sunny spells but will later experience stormy weather.
Today, on Tuesday, June 7, the Met Office predict bright spells are likely, however they will be broken up by showers throughout the day. The temperature will be warm, with highs of 19C, but a band of rain will not shift and heavy outbursts are expected into the evening.
Tomorrow will be fairly warm again but forecasters say that showers have the potential to turn heavy and thundery. This unsettled and changeable trend is predicted throughout the week, thanks to the ex-tropical storm Alex transitioning into a Atlantic low.

Overall, it's likely to be breezy at times, with winds hitting up to 55mph on Friday. The Met Office reports it will still be breezy on Saturday but winds easing, with sunshine and showers for many.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Adam Thornhill said: "The low-pressure on Wednesday will bring showers to most areas of the UK, but the heaviest, slow-moving downpours are expected in northern areas, including Northern Ireland, with a chance of associated thunder and lightning. Although rainfall amounts are still open to some uncertainty, there’s a chance some areas in the north could see in excess of 20mm of rain within a 3-hour period.
"This will largely break up later in the day on Wednesday, leaving behind just a few showers by the late evening." Adam added: "By the time Ex-Tropical Storm Alex gets near UK shores, it will have transitioned into a mature Atlantic low.
"Although it will have lost much of its strength, it will bring some unseasonably strong winds across the UK – especially to the northwest on Thursday and Friday. The track of the former storm currently looks to be grazing the far northwest of the UK on Thursday and Friday and, although the details are still being worked out, winds could be around 45mph for most in the north of the UK, with a chance of some gusts in excess of 55mph in some exposed northwestern island and coastal areas."
