The North West is also covered by an Amber Cold Health Alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Will it snow in Liverpool this week?
While the Met Office has said the North West could see hill snow, it is not currently expected to snow in Liverpool.
On Tuesday (November 18), a spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Some temporary slushy snow deposits will be possible where snow persists for long enough, especially on grassy surfaces, but any significant accumulations will be largely restricted to communities and transport routes above about 300 m elevation.”
