A yellow weather warning for rain is in place for Merseyside today
A month's amount of rain is expected to fall in parts of the North West. Much of the region, including Warringon, Cheshire and Lancashire are also covered by the warning.
There's also a possibility of thunderstorms until 10pm tonight.
Sarah Kent from the Met Office said: "It's just to be aware that water levels could fluctuate really sharply when you've got this torrential downpours"
"If you are driving, you won't be able to see very much just because of the torrents of rain we're expecting"
The advice is to check before you travel
