Liverpool weather: unsettled conditions with rain and sunny spells

Unsettled weather is continuing across Merseyside, with periods of showers and sunny spells expected.

Yellow and Amber weather thunderstorm warnings are still in force for some of the country, but any major thunderstorms should miss Merseyside. That doesn't mean the region will get away without any rain though.

Rain is forecast, with cloud building throughout the day, leading to showers into the evening. The Met Office says these showers can feel heavy at times and will come with cool conditions.

Forecasters say there will be sunny intervals through the day on Friday, with scattered showers filtering through at times. Feeling fresher than Thursday but pleasant in the sunshine.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steven Ramsdale said: “Although not everyone within the warning areas will see the thundery downpours, where they do occur there’s a potential for some very large rainfall totals today. Despite the rain falling on some extremely dry ground, there’s a potential for surface-water flooding.

“Within the warning areas, potential impacts include the chance for some power cuts, difficult travelling conditions thanks to sudden changes in driving conditions and possible flooding of travel routes, homes and businesses. Hail and lightning could also be embedded within these systems, creating an additional hazard.”

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said: “While there’s more detail to be determined into the weekend, the main theme for Saturday is unsettled weather with some showers but also some sunny spells, while some gusty winds and more consistent rain could affect the northwest.

“Later in the weekend, and into early next week, a warm front is expected to move in from the Atlantic, which brings with it some further rain from the west, gradually spreading eastwards. The heaviest rain, and highest totals, are expected to be in western areas but as the front moves eastwards it should weaken, reducing any totals in these areas, and the southeast in particular could stay mostly dry.”
