Winds remain light, so temperatures will feel close to the predicted values. For a broader view of conditions across the region, see the Liverpool Weather page.

Apart from today’s quick spell of rain, the rest of the week settles into a classic early‑spring pattern: crisp nights, sunny intervals and a low chance of showers.
