A mysterious mist rolled in over the Mersey this evening and reduced visibility across Liverpool and Wirral.

People flocked to social media to report the weird mist which caused temperatures to drop after a warm day across the area.

The Met Office explained that the unusual sight was just sea fog, which is created when warm air condenses over cold water.
