Liverpool weather: Met Office issues yellow alert as 50mph winds and hail hit Merseyside

The Met Office is warning of disruption and large waves as strong winds batter Merseyside, with gusts predicted to reach up to 52mph. A yellow weather warning is in place from 6.25am until 10.00pm on Monday (April 15) and covers large swathes of the UK, including Liverpool.

The stormy weather has swept past Iceland and has already brought hail to parts of the region with two icy downpours reported on Monday morning. Rain is expected to follow in Liverpool from around 1pm and strong gusts are expected to continue into Tuesday morning.

According to the Met Office, the ‘strong winds may cause some disruption’, with delays to public transport services probable. Coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities are likely to be affected by large waves and it is possible that local residents will be affected by short term losses of power and other services.

Across the North West, residents should expect ‘blustery showers, possibly heavy at times with hail’ and the ‘odd rumble of thunder’. There could be wintry conditions over the hills and it will feel ‘noticeably’ more cold than recent days.
