The change in the position of the jet stream is to blame as arctic air will be able to filter down over to the UK.
Towards the end of the week arctic weather will have the UK in its grasp, which will bring colder weather and a risk of sleet or snow to some areas of Mersyside.

It will be windy too with potential gusts of up to 50mph, so the wind chill will make the weather feel closer to -2C, especially at coastal locations.
