Liverpool is set to be hotter than Porto today with temperatures already starting to rise ready for an expected Bank Holiday heatwave.

While plenty of Liverpool FC fans will be making their way to the Portuguese city to watch tonight's Champions League quarter final clash, it will be even sunnier back home.

The mercury is predicted to rise to 18 C on Wednesday afternoon, with the Met Office forecasting a sunny day with a light breeze.

This pleasant midweek weather puts Liverpool a few degrees above Porto, which will be 16 C with light showers in the run up to the match.

Today's warm weather should ease the region in to an expected Easter heatwave - with temperatures set to top 22 C over the Bank Holdiay weekend.

The sizzling temperatures will make Liverpool warmer than Athens which peaks at 16C and Madrid at 18C over the Easter Weekend.

A warmer weekend will be a welcome change from the colder weather caused by a Nordic vortex.

After a slightly overcast start, any cloud should clear away by mid-morning, leaving a day of sunny skies and highs of 18 C on Wednesday.

Things look set to stay sunny on Thursday, with highs of 19 C before things start to really warm up on Good Friday.
