Weather forecast has changed, mercury is expected to rise more than expected in the coming days
The Met Office’s forecast has changed after today, Sunday, was initially predicted to be the hottest day of the mini heatwave we are currently experiencing. As expected, Liverpool saw temperatures of up to 26C, with plenty of sunshine as people flocked to beaches and parks to enjoy the good weather.
Monday’s temperatures are expected to be higher than experts expected, with the same high of 26°C as today, instead of the 24°C previously expected. Tuesday’s temperatures will be almost as high, with highs of 24°C and lows of 16°C, and it will be even warmer on Wednesday, July 31.
While the forecast had predicted a maximum temperature of 25C on Wednesday, the Met Office’s forecast has changed, with maximum temperatures predicted to be 27C in Liverpool. “Sunny intervals turning to partial cloud overnight” can also be expected.
On Thursday 1st August we can expect highs of 23°C and lows of 16°C with the same sunny intervals turning to clouds in the late evening, with similar temperatures and conditions on Friday 2nd August.

Looking further ahead to Sunday 11 August, the Met Office says in its long-range forecast for the UK that “the weather will be generally dominated by a northwest-southeast divide”. It adds: “North-west areas are likely to see rather windy conditions with cloud and some showers of rain or drizzle as weakened Atlantic frontal systems move eastwards across the UK.
“To the south and east, the weather will be generally drier and brighter, although there is also a slight possibility of thundery showers spreading from the neighbouring continent. There are signs that a more broadly settled period becomes more likely towards mid-August.
“Temperatures during this period are likely to be near to slightly above average overall, with the likelihood of very warm conditions developing in the south and perhaps parts of the east at times.”
