As the glourious Easter sunshine is replaced by rain, the Met Office has issued a new weather warning for unsettled conditions, which include strong winds that are set to batter Liverpool and large parts of the United Kingdom this week.

It follows a sun-baked Easter Sunday that saw temperatures rise as high as 16°C, drawing comparisons to the weather in Greece. But to bring a dampener to the moods of many, get your raincoats at the ready.

The warnings for wetter and windier weather covers Liverpool and it will be in effect from 3pm on Tuesday (April 11) to 6am on Wednesday (April 12).

According to the Met Office, here is what we should expect:

  • Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely
  • Some bus and train services will probably be affected, with journeys taking longer
  • Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
  • Some short-term loss of power and other services is possible
  • It’s likely some coastal routes, seafronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves

Gusts as strong as 45-50 mph are set to welcome Liverpool holiday makers  back following the Easter weekend. The wet homecoming is also expected to continue throughout the week.

Talking about the expected Easter Monday washout set to hit Liverpool, Met Office forecaster Craig Snell said: “Monday is certainly going to be that day of change, as low pressure starts to dominate the scene. With blustery showers, it’s the day to do anything you want indoors."
