Liverpool weather turning drier after washout week

It will turn drier and brighter today across Merseyside, according to forecasters.

The Met Office reports that the region may have experienced the heaviest rain already this week, with only the odd shower expected on Friday, November 18. A yellow rain warning was issued yesterday and while rain fell heavily, it's expected to clear into the weekend.

It will remain cooler and chilly, however, with highs of just 10C. On Saturday, forecasters say it will be a generally dry day but some isolated showers are possible.

The outlook from Sunday to Tuesday however is blustery showers with a risk of frost overnight. It will b ecome cloudy on Monday with rain and strong winds later, and remaining unsettled into Tuesday.

Other areas, mainly eastern Scotland have been put on an amber warning for rain. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: “Bands of rain associated with this low-pressure will be heavy in places and will bring with it the potential for some flooding and travel disruption.

“The heaviest rain will gradually move north on Thursday and Friday, with further warnings issued. Parts of eastern of Scotland are likely to see between 50 and 70 mm of rain, with in excess of 100 mm possible across the hills of Angus and Aberdeenshire. Coupled with this system are some strong winds, with gusts of around 50 mph possible along coasts.

“The heaviest rain will relent late on Friday for those in the north and east, although it will leave behind some lighter rain for a time on Saturday.”
