Highs of 28C were reached in Merseyside, according to the Met Office
The weather in Liverpool is expected to be mild today, with grey skies occasionally interrupted by flashes of sunshine. Moderately warm temperatures are predicted throughout the day, with the Met Office forecasting highs of 19C.
It follows a heatwave last week that saw temperatures soar to more than 30C on Thursday and Friday. Scorching temperatures swept across the UK, reaching a record high for 2025 as 33.2C was recorded in Charlwood, Surrey.
Highs of 28C were reached in Merseyside, according to the Met Office. This was followed by intermittent downpours throughout Saturday, and a rainy Sunday as the heatwave officially came to an end.
Chances of precipitation remain low today, June 23. The Met Office predicted: “A bright start for most with plenty of sunny spells. A few scattered showers are possible at first, but these easing during the afternoon. Near normal temperatures, though rather breezy, especially at the coasts and over hills. Maximum temperature 18C.”
“Cloud thickening from the west through the evening with outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards overnight, turning heavy at times. Remaining breezy. Minimum temperature 13C.”
Rainy weather is expected to persist throughout the week, with “patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle, turning persistent over western hills and mountains (and) some brighter spells developing by late afternoon, and winds gradually easing.”
Cloud cover with sunny intervals is forecast for the rest of the week, with chances of rain. Forecasters predict: “Sunny spells and scattered showers on Wednesday, before rain spreads eastwards later Thursday and through Friday. Increasingly windy by Friday, and temperatures around or a little above average.”
Looking ahead, from June 27 to early July, the Met Office added: “Weather conditions are expected to be remain changeable through this period, as a series of Atlantic low pressure systems pass to the northwest of the UK.
“These will tend to bring some occasional rain or showers, most frequent in northwestern areas where it may also be rather breezy or windy at times.
“Whilst some rain or showers will be possible across the south and east, here longer drier spells are more likely, under the influence of higher pressure.
“There is also the chance of some occasional very warm weather, as south or southwesterly winds allow brief bursts of hotter air to encroach from the continent, but probably fairly short-lived and perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times.
“A continuation of changeable conditions is most likely for the first part of July. The wettest and windiest conditions most likely towards the northwest with a risk of some heavy rain at times, especially over hills.
“Southern and eastern areas are most favoured for longer drier and more settled spells, although even here some occasional rain or showers will be possible, perhaps thundery.
“There are signs of more widely settled weather during the second half of July, however this signal is very tentative. Temperatures are expected to be above average for most areas, especially towards the southeast where there will be an ongoing chance of some very warm or hot conditions at times.”
