It was a wet and windy afternoon on the Liverpool waterfront as the region braces for a spell of winter weather. The Met Office has warned that snow and ice will hit Merseyside tomorrow, with a yellow weather warning issued from 7pm on Monday (November 18) to 10am on Tuesday (November 19).

Forecasters said an area of snow "may bring disruption" during Monday night and Tuesday morning. The Met Office said people can expect a small chance power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

Today, Liverpool experienced chilly temperatures and rain. People struggled with umbrellas at the Pier Head as the wind and rain whipped off the River Mersey on a bleak afternoon.

Tomorrow's warning warning covers most of Merseyside apart from the coastal areas such as Hoylake, Formby and Southport. Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said “We have issued yellow warnings for snow and ice as cold weather moves in from the north. This brings snow showers and some ice to parts of Scotland on Sunday night, and then the potential for a spell of snow to lead to disruption to some transport routes across a central swathe of the UK on Tuesday morning.

"Gusty winds in the east also remain a potential hazard. Updates to the warnings for wintry hazards are likely so it is important to stay up to date with the latest forecast”
