Bilston (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Turning fresher and brighter.

This Evening and Tonight:

A mostly dry evening and night is expected across the region. It will be fairly cloudy at first, though some clear spells developing in the west. Some rain possible in the east later. Remaining fairly warm, with light winds. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Wednesday:

Patchy cloud and rain at first clearing east to leave a mostly fine day with sunny spells. Perhaps the odd shower developing later. Feeling fresher than in recent days. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A ridge of high pressure will give a mostly settled day on Thursday, with sunny spells. Gradually clouding over on Friday with damp and breezy conditions spreading east for Saturday.

Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills, especially western Scotland where large rainfall totals may have built up by this time. Eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks, but with a risk of thundery showers, which could be slow moving at first. Likely turning cooler and more showery into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
