The weather is notably warmer today after a cold snap that saw ice, snow and sub-zero temperatures across Merseyside.
According to the Met Office it will feel much milder than last week, with the mercury hitting 10C to 13C from Monday, December 19. However the forecast will be more unsettled with spells of rain and windy with coastal gales.
There is still set to be some fog during the early mornings, however there will be some bright intervals throughout the days. On Tuesday, there's a promise of a drier and brighter day as a whole, with plenty of sunny spells.

With it now above average temperatures for the time of year, after such freezing conditions, many people are wondering why it is suddenly so much warmer. While last week's wintry weather was caused by cold air from the Arctic being pushed over the UK, this has been replaced by a warmer weather front.
While this is good news for some, it will also bring with it some turbulent conditions. The Met Office predicts Wednesday will be cloudier and windier with blustery showers.
Thursday and Friday also look unsettled with rain at times, and although winds may ease temperatures could start to dip.
A number of Met Office weather warnings for rain are in place today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday), however these are in the south of England and miss Liverpool and Merseyside.
