Sunny weather has finally arrived in Liverpool as a heatwave could be on the way.

It has been a miserable summer so far as Merseyside has been largely hit with grey skies and heavy rain. However, the outlook has taken a turn this week as it has been another sunny day so far in the region.

It looks like the weather could improve next week as glorious conditions are forecast. BBC weather is predicting 23C conditions could arrive in Monday and it is predicted to remain dry for the rest of the week.

The BBC is predicting highs of 25C on Tuesday with the clear conditions continuing until next Saturday, June 29. The Met Office has also forecast sunny conditions for next week as the long range forecast for June 24 - July 3 said: "Predominantly fine and settled through the period and for much of the country turning much warmer than we have seen in recent weeks.

"At first some thicker cloud could bring some outbreaks of mostly light rain, this mainly affecting northwestern areas. However for most it will be dry throughout, and likely to turn increasingly warm as we move into next week.

"There is a chance that this could persist for much of the rest of the period, turning increasingly hot, however by the latter part of next week we see a large range of outcomes, some of which allow for a return of temperatures closer to average. However the trend toward much warmer conditions continuing through next week is preferred".
