Children across Wirral and parts of Merseyside have broken up for half term and here’s what the weather will be like while they are off.

This weekend will see slightly warmer temperatures than recently, with highs of 17C and a mix of sunny spells and cloud.

However, as the new week arrives the cold mornings will return and Monday will continue to remain a chilly day but with plenty of sunshine.

Throughout the half term this theme will continue and mornings will see some fog and frost in places.

It will be a mostly dry and cloudy week with Monday seeing the best of the sunshine.

It will also be a breezy week, by Tuesday winds could be gusting at over 40 mph throughout the day and with the wind chill temperatures will feel closer to 8C.
