Liverpool is set to be hit with thunderstorms and torrential rain this week. The UK has entered the first week of meteorological autumn and “unsettled” weather<\/a> is on the horizon.<\/p>\n The Met Office predicts heavy rain today<\/a>, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as scattered showers are expected. In the weather agency’s forecast for the North West today, September 1, it says: “Blustery showers will continue to move in from the west through this evening, but some drier, clearer spells are expected to develop overnight too.<\/p>\n “Patchy low cloud may linger across the Pennines, with winds gradually easing by dawn. Minimum temperature 12 \u00b0C.”<\/p>\n Looking ahead to Tuesday, September 2, there will be a bright start for many but scattered showers will soon become widespread through the day. Winds will be a little lighter but it will still feel breezy along the coast.<\/p>\n Sunny spells could bring some warmth, with temperatures reaching up to 19C.<\/p>\n The rest of the week is expected to remain “unsettled” throughout with further showers and longer spells of rain. The Met Office<\/a> adds that “some heavy, perhaps thundery downpours” are likely at times, interspersed with drier and sunnier interludes.<\/p>\n It comes as the Met Office confirmed the summer of 2025 was the UK\u2019s warmest on record. The mean average temperature across June, July and August was a provisional 16.10C, beating the previous seasonal high of 15.76C set in 2018.<\/p>\n Four heatwaves hit the UK this summer, all of which saw temperatures climb above 30C, though none was quite as fierce as the heatwave of July 2022 when an all-time high of 40.3C was reached.<\/p>\n The highest temperature recorded was 35.8C at Faversham in Kent on July 1.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s spells of intense heat were also relatively short-lived and did not persist for as long as in the scorching summer of 1976, when multiple locations across England endured heatwave-like conditions lasting more than two weeks.<\/p>\n Temperatures peaked above 32C on 16 days during the summer of 1976, compared with nine days in 2025.<\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news visit liverpoolecho.co.uk\/news<\/a><\/p>\n Get all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion and video on the stories that matter to you by signing up to our daily and breaking newsletter<\/a>.
