Liverpool snow: Here's when snow is set to hit Merseyside as Storm Goretti brings 'unsettled' conditions
Liverpool is set for further snowfall as Britain braces for Storm Goretti.
The first snow of 2026 arrived in Liverpool and Merseyside last week, causing a raft of problems with widespread rail disruption and Liverpool Airport’s runway closing earlier this week.
The Met Office has issued multiple weather warnings for ice and snow, including a yellow ice warning affecting parts of the North West until 10.00am today (January 7).
While Merseyside is currently not included in the alert, further snow is set to fall across the county as the latest named storm - Storm Goretti - hits Britain.
According to BBC Weather’s current forecast, snow is predicted across Liverpool and Merseyside from the early hours of Sunday morning (January 11), turning to sleet later in the day. Sleet showers and hill snow are also expected on Thursday evening (January 8).
In its Merseyside forecast, BBC Weather said: “Tomorrow (January 8) will see a mainly dry but cloudy start. In the afternoon, it will turn unsettled as Storm Goretti moves in, with winds increasing and blustery rain and hill snow developing.
“Friday looks to be overcast with the chance of some patches of sleet and snow. Turning drier later in the afternoon but staying cloudy with the odd lingering wintry shower. Saturday is expected to be largely dry with sunny spells. Mist and fog developing overnight. A murky and dull day on Sunday. Turning breezier.”
An amber Cold Health Alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), covers all regions of England and is in force until 12.00pm on Sunday, January 11.
Under the Weather Health Alerting system, introduced by UKHSA and the Met Office, an amber Cold Health Alert means that cold weather impacts are “likely to be felt across the whole health service for an extended period of time, with potential for the whole population to be at risk”.
