While I’m definitely not looking forward to being surrounded by wasps and boiling in my non-air-conditioned flat, Liverpool is truly something else during the summer and I can’t wait for sunset walks, festivals and the buzz of tourists.
The warmer months see a host of free activities take place around the city, including the incredible Africa Oye festival at Sefton Park, and offers the opportunity to visit other parts of Merseyside - from beautiful beaches to popular ice cream shops.
It was difficult to choose my favourite things about summer in Liverpool but here are some of those I’m most looking forward to and some of my favourite places that are even better when the sun is shining. Let me know about your best-loved places and activities in the comments.
17. Taking my niece to her first concert
So we all know Taylor Swift is coming to Anfield in June and my niece is the luckiest child ever as we're going for her first ever concert. My first concert was nowhere as impressive, but she's a huge Swiftie and I can't wait to see her face when the music starts. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: AFP via Getty Images
18. The launch of Splash Tours Liverpool
The launch of Splash Tours will see amphibious return vehicles to the city. I think the experience will be really popular and you bet I'll be giving it a go. | The new experience will operate later this year. Image: Splash Tours Liverpool Photo: Splash Tours Liverpool
