The day will be clearer and brighter
The Met Office has predicted “sunny spells” after Storm Éowyn hit Merseyside. Weather warnings were put in place on Friday as “strong winds” hit coastal areas such as Hoylake, Southport and Formby.
The rest of the region was covered by yellow weather warnings. However, the weather is set to be brighter today, Saturday, January 25. Forecasters have predicted that there will be “sunny spells with showers.”
Temperatures will reach highs of 7C. Although clear for most of the day, it is set to change to cloudy in the afternoon. Some rain is predicted for around 6pm.
The Met Office said: “Sunny spells on Saturday, with showers, perhaps wintry spreading eastwards later. After a dry start, turning windy with rain and hill snow arriving on Sunday. Unsettled and showery on Monday.”
For its UK weather forecast, the Met Office said Saturday will remain a “breezy day”, with strong winds persisting in the north. It added: “It will be drier for many, with showers replacing persistent heavy rain, these wintry in the north, especially over higher ground.
However, a further area of low pressure will influence the UK’s weather from Sunday, initially in the west, but spreading further east and bringing further wind and rain from Sunday and into the start of next week, with further warnings issued.”
On Friday Merseyside was covered by a double yellow and amber weather warning for high winds, with the Met Office previously warning how there could be gusts of up to 70mph along the coast and up to 60mph inland.
A rare red warning was put in place in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland and all of England was covered by a yellow or amber wind warning.
The Met Office warned of cancellations and disruption to road, rail, air and ferry services and on Friday Liverpool John Lennon Airport several flights were cancelled.
Despite a sunnier day predicted for today, Sunday is again covered by a yellow weather warning from 8am until 3pm with strong winds likely to cause some disruption. The Met Office has warned that there may be some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport. Also coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.
Bus and train services will likely also be affected, with some journeys taking longer and there is a possibility of some short term loss of power and other services.
People have also been advised to be careful on the roads as there may be delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.
