Snow forecast: No flakes for Liverpool this week as mild, windy air takes charge

A burst of Atlantic air is keeping the pattern too mild and too maritime for snow in Liverpool through the next 7–10 days. Temperatures run several degrees above the early-November average, with frequent cloud, occasional light rain, and a persistent breeze off the Irish Sea—conditions that strongly suppress any snow risk at low levels.

Liverpool snow forecast at a glance (Nov 1–10)

• Snow risk: Very low for the city and surrounding lowlands.

• Daily highs: Mostly 13–16°C (55–61°F).

• Overnight lows: Generally 8–11°C (46–52°F)—well above freezing.

• Precipitation type: Light rain/drizzle at times; no wintry mix expected.

• Wind: Often breezy to windy, especially Monday–Wednesday, from a milder southwesterly direction.

In practical terms, road surfaces and air temperatures won’t come close to the thresholds needed for sleet or snow in Liverpool. Even on the cooler nights late week, readings stay several degrees above 0°C, so any passing showers remain liquid.

Why Liverpool isn’t seeing snow right now

Liverpool’s maritime exposure means wind direction matters as much as temperature. Through midweek, the dominant southwesterly flow pulls in milder Atlantic air. Cloud and occasional light rain keep nights insulated, limiting radiative cooling that might otherwise allow a brief dip toward freezing. Without a clean northerly or easterly feed—and without clear, calm nights—snow chances in the city are effectively nil.

A true lowland snow setup here typically requires one (and usually more) of the following:

• A polar or Arctic airmass with 850 hPa temperatures dropping to roughly –5°C or lower.

• A northerly or easterly surface wind, introducing colder, drier air and better evaporative cooling.

• Nighttime clearing and light winds to allow road/ground temps to fall sharply below air temps.
  None of these ingredients are in place over the coming week.

What about the wider UK snow picture?

• Scottish Highlands: The cold is marginal even here in the short term, but the highest peaks could flirt with brief, wet hill snow in any sharper showers if a cooler pocket brushes through. Accumulation prospects remain limited.

• Northern England uplands (Pennines, Lake District): Low risk of any flakes, and if they do occur on the highest tops, they would be fleeting and non-disruptive.

• Midlands, southern England, coastal areas: No snow signal; mild and cloudy dominates.

Day-by-day for Liverpool (snow-relevant details)

• Sat–Sun (Nov 1–2): Cool, breezy, mostly dry with some sunny breaks Sunday. Highs 12–13°C, lows 8–10°C. Rain, if any, is light and brief—nothing wintry.

• Mon–Wed (Nov 3–5): Turning milder and windier with cloud and occasional light rain/drizzle. Highs up to 16°C, lows 11–14°C. This is the least favorable period for snow (and the most consistently mild).

• Thu–Fri (Nov 6–7): Slightly cooler but still above seasonal norms. A few showers, highs near 14°C, lows 9–10°C. No wintry risk.

• Next weekend (Nov 8–10): Mixed cloud with a couple of showers; temperatures remain 8–14°C. Any precipitation falls as rain.

Travel and preparation

• Roads & pavements: No ice hazards expected this week in Liverpool; gritting is unlikely outside of higher, exposed routes far from the coast.

• Home & garden: If you’re winter-proofing, you have a decent window: wind is the bigger issue than cold. Secure loose items for gusty spells early week.

• Outdoor plans: Waterproofs trump thermal layers. It may feel cool in the wind, but the air mass is mild for the season.

What could change—and what to watch

For the snow narrative to flip, look for:

1. Pattern shift to northerly/easterly: A blocking high to the west or north can redirect much colder air toward the UK.

2. 850 hPa temps falling to ~–5°C or below: That’s a strong signal that showers could turn wintry even near sea level, especially overnight.

3. Clear, calm nights following a cold front: Enables sharp ground cooling and spotty ice even with marginal air temperatures.

If those three flags line up in future model runs, Liverpool’s snow risk would climb quickly—particularly for brief sea-effect wintry showers when winds tilt due north over the Irish Sea. At present, though, guidance supports a continued Atlantic-led, relatively mild regime.

Through at least November 10, the setup stays too mild and breezy for snow in Liverpool. Expect cloud, occasional light rain, and temperatures well above freezing—classic early-November maritime weather with no flakes on the cards for the city.
