Lode Heath (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

A fine start to the weekend.

Today:

Dry across the region today with plenty of sunny spells. Cloud will increase a little at times to turn the sunshine hazy. Lighter winds than of late and feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Clear skies at first and quickly turning chilly. Cloud increases towards the end of the night with a strengthening breeze. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Sunday:

Largely cloudy at first on Sunday, although cloud will gradually break through the day to give some warm sunny spells. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Largely cloudy during the start of next week with showery outbreaks of rain at times. Some warm brighter spell will also develop, gradually turning cooler by the end of Wednesday.

Cloudy with some rain in the far southeast and heavy showers in the far north, but otherwise a good deal of fine and dry weather at the start of this period. This will quickly change as weather systems move in from the Atlantic at the end of next week and over the following weekend. These will bring spells of rain or showers to most areas, heavy at times (especially in the northwest) with some strong winds. Into the middle of the month, similarly changeable conditions are most likely, with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems interspersed with some drier, brighter spells. Temperatures will likely be near to or slightly below normal at first, maybe becoming warmer later.

The second half of October will probably maintain a changeable pattern overall with weather systems often moving in from the Atlantic. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain, with the wettest and windiest weather in the northwest, drier in the southeast. There is a chance that a period of more widely dry conditions could develop for a time, but confidence in the details of this is low. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
