Clothing planning bands use the rounded Met Office 1991–2020 Crosby mean daily maximum (17.68°C) and minimum (11.22°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 76.6 mm, with 11.79 days recording at least 1 mm. Exposed waterside stops can feel cooler in wind; check the forecast for your dates.
