There is a mixed forecast for the country over the coming August Bank Holiday weekend.
After a few days of rain in Liverpool, the region may experience a dry weekend. The rain that has been affecting the North West over the last week will spread east, leaving dry conditions for much of the area.
The Met Office reports that it's likely to feel muggy at times, as temperatures hit 22C but it may remain cloudy. The last of the rain will fall today, on Thursday, August 25, with drizzle predicted.

On Friday, it will be mostly dry with some bright spells. That trend will continue over the mostly dry and fine Bank Holiday. Speaking in the latest Met Office 10 day trend Aidan McGivern said: "The Azores are a group of islands in the mid-Atlantic. Semi-Permanent high pressure sits here throughout much of the year.
"But what's been happening through this year so far and especially during the summer, is high pressure from the Azores keeps extending across the UK, hence the warm summer and the very dry summer that we've had. And that repeating pattern repeats again this weekend"
Although high pressure means it is likely to be largely dry with warm sunny spells, Aidan said that’s not the story for everywhere, he added: "There's also an area of low pressure which will likely bring some wetter weather for a time, later Saturday into Sunday to the northwest, mainly Northern Ireland, western Scotland, and then clearing from the far north of Scotland during Monday."
