Eurovision 2023 Liverpool weather forecast for Saturday

Forecasters are predicting a day of brilliant sunshine and clear skies for the Eurovision grand final in the city.

Liverpool is gearing up for its biggest party yet as thousands of people from across Europe join us for the Song Contest as we take on hosting duties for last year's winning country Ukraine. With events taking place all over the city centre and the EuroVillage at the Pier Head, many will be wanting to know what the weather will be like and if they will need to pack an umbrella.

While we are used to the rain in Merseyside, Met Office experts have said there will be hours of uninterrupted sunshine with maximum temperatures of 19°C. There will be a light easterly breeze (coming from the north west after lunchtime) and humidity will be around 62-76%.

The Met Office said: "Any cloud in the east breaking up through the morning to leave plenty of prolonged sunshine during the afternoon. Light winds, and temperatures in the high teens. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

"Cloud slowly increasing on Sunday with rain perhaps arriving from the west later and into Monday, but feeling warm. Drier with lighter winds on Tuesday, although feeling a little cooler."

UV light will be at its highest from midday, so ensure you wear suncream if you are intending on being outside for longer than 20 minutes.
