Liverpool weather: More snow falls on Merseyside ahead of new weekend weather warning

The Met Office has issued a fresh weather warning after the arctic blast that saw temperatures plummet in some parts of the UK and heavy snowfall across Merseyside.

Local residents woke up to heavy snow on Tuesday morning (January 16) and the UK saw the coldest night since 2019, with temperatures dropping to -14°C in the Scottish Highlands.

A yellow weather warning for snow and ice remained in place across Merseyside on Wednesday and some parts of the region experienced further snowfall, waking up to a light dusting of snow on Thursday morning (January 18). The alert was expected to continue until Thursday night, however, it has now been lifted.

While it is still icy and we may see further 'flurries of snow' throughout Thursday, it seems the wintry conditions are coming to an end, with the temperature expected to increase.

Thursday is set to be a cold one with temperatures as low as -1°C and a 'feels like' temperature of -4°C. However, the weekend will see the return of milder conditions, with a high of 12°C.

Despite an end to freezing conditions, it isn't all good news, as the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind, covering Liverpool and Merseyside. In place from 6.00am to 11.59pm on Sunday (January 21), the Met Office warn that a 'period of strong winds may bring disruption to travel and utilities across parts of the UK' with the potential of power cuts.
