It will be a morning of heavy rain in Liverpool before “a day of sunny spells”. The Met Office said it will be a mix of scattered showers and sunshine for most of Tuesday, June 3.
Forecasters said showers are set to stop by 8pm. Temperatures will reach highs of 18C and lows of 10C, with many places staying dry overnight, with clear spells and lighter winds than of late.
The Met Office said: “Heavy rain will soon clear south-eastwards this morning to leave a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. Showers will be most frequent in the north, where they could also be heavy.
“Feeling rather cool in the southwesterly breeze. Maximum temperature 17C.”
Wednesday will be a lot dryer in Merseyside, with another day of sunny spells and part cloud. Forecasters said it will “remain fresh”. Temperatures will reach highs of 17C.
The wet weather comes after an unprecedented season of warmth and sunshine across the UK, according to provisional Met Office statistics.
The UK, and all four nations, all recorded their warmest spring for mean temperature since the series began in 1884, surpassing the previous record from 2024. This season also outshone the rest, claiming the title of sunniest spring on record for the UK, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with England recording its second sunniest spring since sunshine records began in 1910.

It means this year’s spring was the fourth sunniest season overall for the UK, with only three summers sunnier since 1910. This spring’s mean temperature of 9.5C surpassed the long-term climatological average by 1.4C, making it the warmest spring since the series began in 1884.
Eight of the 10 warmest UK springs have occurred since the year 2000, and the three warmest springs have all occurred since 2017, a sign of our changing climate. All four nations also recorded their highest spring mean temperature, with Northern Ireland and Scotland recording notably high temperatures, up 1.6C on average.
For Northern Ireland, this meant surpassing the previous long-standing warmest average spring temperature, set back in 1893. Daytime temperatures were also particularly remarkable.
The UK surpassed its previous maximum daytime temperature record by a substantial margin, recording 14.6C this year compared to the previous record of 14C set in 1893. Now that this has been surpassed, there is only one temperature record for the UK for minimum, mean or maximum temperatures that was set in the 19th Century – the joint-highest maximum temperature for September at 19.4C, which was recorded in both 1895 and 2023.
There was also 653.3 hours of sunshine – 43% above average – meaning spring 2025 outshone all previous springs since the series in 1910, the Met Office said.
This exceptional season exceeded the previous record (from 2020) by over 27 hours. This has been the fourth sunniest overall season for the UK (and the sunniest since 1995), and the sunniest overall season for Northern Ireland.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all recorded their sunniest springs on record before the month was out, beating their 2020 records. England recorded its second sunniest spring on record, with only 2020 sunnier. Now, seven of the UK’s ten sunniest springs having occurred since 2000.
