Liverpool, on England’s northwest coast, averages around 800 mm (about 31 inches) of rain a year, with autumn and winter typically the wettest months as Atlantic depressions track in off the Irish Sea. The Mersey estuary and surrounding low-lying areas can see localized flooding when heavy rain coincides with high tide, though this is a secondary risk compared with the routine frequency of showers passing through. Weather here can change quickly given the city’s coastal exposure, with clear spells often followed within the hour by a band of rain moving in from the sea. The Met Office’s national radar network provides coverage for the Merseyside region.
