Clothing planning bands use the rounded Met Office 1991–2020 Crosby mean daily maximum (19.99°C) and minimum (13.46°C), plus or minus 2°C. They are not forecast limits. Crosby is outside central Liverpool, so these figures describe regional conditions. Monthly rain averages 65.45 mm, with 10.96 days recording at least 1 mm. Exposed waterside stops can feel cooler in wind; check the forecast for your dates.
