For Coventry and Warwickshire, the forecast predicts "pulses of heavy rain" to start the day, with conditions remaining unsettled throughout. The official statement from the Met Office reads: "An unsettled start with pulses of heavy rain. Brighter in the afternoon with sunny spells and scattered heavy showers. Thunder and hail possible at times." These conditions are expected to significantly alter morning routines for local residents.
Following the rain today, tomorrow promises drier weather conditions, offering some respite as the week progresses. The extended forecast suggests improvements, particularly for Friday and the start of the weekend, before the potential for more rain sets back in on Sunday.
Tonight, Coventry will experience clear spells interspersed with isolated showers. While some likely will remain dry, patchy rain is also anticipated across the region. Temperatures will drop, leading to chilly evening conditions with minimum readings around 3°C.
Turning now to Liverpool, residents face similar weather challenges as the Met Office anticipates "heavy rain" throughout the day, declaring today as setting up for what they have termed "a wet Wednesday". The Liverpool forecast indicates showers are expected between 11 am and 2 pm, followed by more significant rainfall later, with heavy downpours forecasted from 7 pm to 10 pm.
The weather for Liverpool aligns with the general seasonal averages, with temperatures expected to reach highs of 9°C and lows around 4°C.
