Met Office issues weather latest for Liverpool as heatwave comes to an end
Sizzling temperatures have cooled in Liverpool with the recent heatwave coming to a halt. Glorious sunshine basked over the region for much of the past week, with temperatures climbing to around 30C.
It was perfect weather for the many outdoor events which took place in the city this week, including the On the Waterfront festival. But the region saw a change in conditions on Saturday (June 21) with spells of rain, amid a UK warning for thunderstorms which saw parts of the country further north badly hit. The Met Office is forecasting much cooler temperatures over the coming days compared to last week.
Highs of 20C are forecast in Liverpool today (Sunday June 22) beginning with cloudy skies.

Outbreaks of rain are forecast to sweep through during the afternoon. The air will feel fresher than of late with a strengthening southwesterly wind. Rain is expected to be at its heaviest at around 4pm.
Anyone who has been struggling to sleep in the recent heat will welcome the news of cooler overnight temperatures with lows of 13C expected in the city overnight.
The Met Office expects Monday to be mostly dry and cloudy with some sunny intervals. The chance of rain is low.
Tuesday and Wednesday will see dark clouds in the sky with a higher chance of rain on the former.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be sunnier but still cloudy, with temperatures reaching highs of 22C.
