Liverpool weather forecast for New Year as rain and wind expected

It's set to be a wet and windy New Year for most of the country.

The Met Office reports that across Merseyside, there will be spells of rain and gales on Friday, December 30. Rain will clear in the afternoon, with some brighter spells expected.

However a few showers will follow into the evening. It will be windy throughout the day but there will still be highs of around 11C, meaning it's a mild day altogether.

Into New Year's Eve, it will be cloudy and blustery with outbreaks of rain at times. Rain may ease a little towards the evening time.

The Met Office reports that it will feel chilly in the breeze, with a maximum temperature of 9C to 10C. Into 2023, it will be cloudy with a mixture of sunny spells and outbreaks of rain.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: "It’ll be an unsettled New Year weekend for much of the UK, with frequent and at times heavy rain, and a chance this could turn to snow mainly across high ground in Scotland, although there remains a lot of uncertainty where the boundary between the milder and colder air will be.

"New Year’s Eve will be the wetter of the two days, with a number of fronts bringing rain to many areas, especially parts Scotland as well as south and south-west England, where there will also be some very strong winds along the English Channel. What that leaves behind is an unsettled New Year’s Day, with central and southern parts of the UK likely to see further showers and some longer spells of rain.

"Further north things are a little more uncertain, but generally a mix of sunshine and showers here, mainly in the east, before conditions look likely to become more widely settled into Monday."
