Liverpool weekend weather forecast - here's when snow is expected to return
Storm Goretti has brought strong winds and heavy snowfall to much of the country, with Liverpool train services facing major disruptions due to adverse conditions in the Midlands.
After snow on Sunday (January 4), parts of Merseyside saw light snowfall for a brief period on Thursday night (January 8), but the area has largely avoided the wintry weather that has closed schools and roads around the UK over the last couple of days.
Today (January 9), there will be mostly wet conditions around Liverpool and Merseyside, with light rain until around 5.00pm and light winds.
According to BBC Weather’s forecast, Liverpool will see mist and sleet on Saturday (January 10). The city can expect snowfall on Sunday morning (January 11), with light snow between 6.00am and 9.00am. Sleet is then expected until around midday, with rain and gusty winds throughout much of the afternoon.
Monday (January 12) will see further wet weather, with rain expected until early evening. Monday will also mark a change in recent cold conditions, with temperatures rising to 9°C.
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”.
