On Merseyside, roads have been closed following torrential downpours, including Queens Drive, in Liverpool, due to flooding from Dovedale Road to North Mossley Hill Road.

The road is prone to flooding and a couple died in their car on Queens Drive last year after becoming submerged in flood water.

Elaine and Philip Marco died after getting stuck inside the vehicle on 26 August 2023.

Merseyrail said due to heavy rain and flooding the railway between Hooton and Capenhurst on the Chester line was disrupted.

Footage has also been shared on X, external of flood water streaming through part of Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.

An Everton FC spokesman said the drainage system at the new stadium was still under construction and would be completed in the coming weeks.
