The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning in St Helens as heavy rain could cause some flooding and disruption on Monday.

Approximately 20-40 mm of rain is expected to fall quite widely with a few places seeing up to 60 mm during the course of the day.

Officials warn to prepare for the “flooding of a few homes and businesses” as well as “spray and flooding” on roads which is likely to “make journey times longer” due to heavy rainfall throughout the day.

Bus and train times are also likely to be affected by the weather, with journey times taking longer.
