Images captured by the ECHO show that many areas in Wirral, including Wallasey Bridge Road and Rendel Street, in Birkenhead, are flooded. Highlighting what people can expect, the Met Office reports: "Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer, spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer and some interruption to power supplies and other services possible."
North West motorway police issued a warning, tweeting: "Morning folks, there is a yellow weather warning for rain across most of the region today. Please allow extra time for any journeys and drive to the conditions."
While National Highways echoed the statement, they said: "Take care if you're on the road today, it's wet out there and driving conditions could be tricky."
