Met Office weather: Liverpool to bask in sunshine as September promises warmer weather

This August was drearier than most, with the summer holidays ending with rain and cool temperatures for children across Merseyside. But, in true British fashion, better weather is on the way just as the kids return to school.

According to the Met Office, ‘temperatures are likely to be above average’ across the country, with large amounts of sunshine.

Liverpool will see these fine conditions begin this weekend, with temperatures creeping back up to the mid-20s, after a week of temperatures below 20 °C.

But, how long will the sunshine last?
