Redditch (Worcestershire) weather

Headline:

Chilly with sunny spells and scattered showers.

Today:

Friday will be another rather chilly day with early mist and fog clearing. Then we will have a mixture of sunny spells and a few scattered showers. These perhaps heavy and wintry in places. Winds remaining light. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Any showers gradually easing through the evening to leave a mostly dry night. Turning chilly underneath the clearest skies with a touch of frost and some fog patches. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Saturday:

Low cloud breaking through the morning, then a drier day compared to Friday with a mixture of sunny spells and a few, mostly light, showers. Light winds for all. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudier on Sunday and Monday with a few showers mixed with brighter interludes. Brighter but breezier on Tuesday with plenty of lengthy sunny spells. Chilly by night with frost patches.

High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK initially, with a good deal of fine, dry and reasonably sunny weather in a south to southeasterly flow. Temperatures are expected to rise, to well above average in some areas. Later in the week there will likely be a gradual transition to less settled conditions from west to east, as low pressure becomes more dominant with an increasing chance of rain or showers by the weekend and into the final week of March, perhaps heavy in places. Temperatures, initially above average, will likely trend back closer to normal, although with more cloud this will tend to reduce the risk of frost to an extent.

Confidence is low, but changeable weather patterns are most likely at the end of March. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
