Edgbaston (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Sunnier and warmer today and fine to end the week.

Mostly cloudy first thing, but sunnier skies gradually spreading south across the region. A warmer day than on Tuesday but feeling a little cooler in the fresh northeasterly breeze. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

A mainly sunny evening followed by a dry night with largely clear skies. Turning rather chilly, especially in the countryside, where a few localised fog patches may form later. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Thursday:

A cool start but quickly warming up in the strong August sunshine. Some cloud is possible at times but feeling warm in the sunshine with lighter winds than on Wednesday. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

High pressure will bring a settled picture through this period. Remaining dry with a mixture of cloud and sunny periods. Chilly nights at first but feeling warm in the sunshine.

The forecast for Bank Holiday Monday is for reasonably fair weather, with light winds and sunny spells continuing from the weekend. However there is still a small chance that western or southwestern parts could see some cloudier skies and a few showers. As the week goes on, skies may become generally cloudier, and there is an increasing chance of outbreaks of rain and showers. Any precipitation would be initially across the southwestern half of the UK, and possibly spreading further north and east at times. That being said, fair conditions are still possible between weather systems. Winds could be breezy at times too, especially around exposed coasts and some hills. Temperatures will be around normal, perhaps a little above in places where sunnier spells persist with lighter winds.

Confidence in the details through this period is low. However, low pressure and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. There will be the potential for periods of stronger winds at times as well. Whether this takes the form of further low pressure systems running in from the Atlantic, or a more slowly evolving weather pattern with the potential for heavy showers is less clear. Temperatures are likely to be near to, or slightly above average overall.
