Merseyside and the rest of the UK has faced grey skies, rain and wind for a lot of May. However, things could be looking up and the Met Office predicts temperatures will rise through the latter part of the month, beginning on May 19.
A lot of the UK is set to see a "good amount of fine and dry weather" later this month. The good weather is set to start on May 19 through to June 12.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Some showers likely to develop on Friday across much of the UK, interspersed with sunny spells. Mainly dry across parts of the northwest and southeast and possibly breezy here.
"Into the weekend a high-pressure ridge is most likely to extend across the UK, resulting in a good amount of fine and dry weather for most. Into the next week a continuation of these settled conditions is expected, with fine and dry weather for many.
"The greatest chance of rain or showers is for the far northwest and southeast. Winds staying generally light, although possibly a bit stronger in the far south, southeast and northwest. Temperatures most likely above average overall, although most likely closer to average in the southeast."
According to the Met Office there will be "an increased likelihood of above average temperatures" going into June.
Forecasters said: "The most likely scenario for the end of May is for drier weather in the north, with an increased chance of periods of rain and possibly thunder in the south and southwest.
"Into June, high pressure is predicted to remain dominant, especially for northern areas, with cloud, rain and showers more likely to the south, although there is a level of uncertainty associated with this. An increased likelihood of above average temperatures for many."
