The warning, which cover the whole of Merseyside, come into force at 12.00 on Sunday, February 20, and ends at 12.00 on Monday, February 21.

The weather service is anticipating a slight chance of damage to buildings and power cuts occurring with possible effects to other services such as mobile phone coverage.

There is also a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and debris being thrown onto coastal roads and properties.

The Met Office website listed the following:

  • "There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.
  • "There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
  • "There is a chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected.
  • "There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage."

There are also yellow weather warnings in place across the country, with a yellow warning for rain covering Lancashire for much of Sunday and Monday.
