Liverpool weather grey with a mixture of sunny spells forecast

Wet and windy weather is on the cards for most this week but there'll also be sunny spells across Merseyside.

The Met Office reports that despite grey skies and some rain forecast, there'll also be brighter periods. Today, on Thursday, October 20, mostly rain and drizzle is on the forecast.

Despite this there'll be a maximum temperature of 16C in the day and 9C in the evening. Into Friday there'll be showers between sunny spells.

Some rainy periods may be heavy with a risk of thunder. Over the weekend it's set to be less windy and more mild than through the week.

Speaking in the Met Office 10 Day Trend, Presenter and Meteorologist Alex Deakin said: "Low-pressure is going to dominate things for the next ten days, bringing spells of wet and windy weather and also some quite high temperatures."

Low-pressure is currently positioned far to the southwest of the UK, sending weather fronts in over the coming days. The key to this is the position of the jet stream.

Alex added: "We’ve got this large area of low pressure. It’s a mature feature, which means it’s been around for a while. The reason it’s not shifting is because of the position of the jet stream, which is driving south through the Atlantic and creating a trough, allowing this low to mill around and driving up other weather fronts.
