Merseyside Weather: Bank Holiday Weekend Forecast

Merseyside braces for a change in weather as Bank Holiday weekend approaches. Thousands are expected to attend major events across the region, including BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and Liverpool's league title parade. The Met Office has issued a forecast predicting sunny spells on Friday, May 23rd, with temperatures reaching 17°C. However, a shift is expected, with light rain showers forecast for both Saturday, May 24th, and Sunday, May 25th. The forecast for Monday, May 26th, shows a possibility of light rain and a moderate breeze. 'This is a marked change from the recent good weather,' commented a Met Office spokesperson. The potential for rain poses a challenge to the organizers of the events, who are hoping for favorable weather conditions. Liverpool City Council is monitoring the situation closely and has contingency plans in place. Despite the weather uncertainty, the city remains upbeat about the upcoming celebrations. The Liverpool Echo will continue to provide updates on the weather forecast as the weekend approaches.
