Tile Hill (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Turning increasingly settled this week.

Today:

A murky start as rain continues to push northwestward through the morning, with some low cloud lingering for a time. Some brighter breaks through the afternoon, but remaining cloudy over the Pennines throughout. Feeling mild. Breezy at times over hills. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining largely clear and dry in the west overnight, but cloudy in the east, with further outbreaks of drizzle and hill fog likely over high ground. Another mild night. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Tuesday:

A brighter start in the west, but quickly turning cloudy from the east. Over higher ground rain and drizzle persists. Turning clearer and drier through the evening. Temperatures near average. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

High pressure builds from Wednesday, bringing a more settled period. Remaining rather cloudy at times, though plenty of sunny spells possible too. Feeling much chillier, with frosty nights. Brisk winds.

Continued mostly settled conditions expected, as high pressure builds to the north of the UK. This will bring a strengthening easterly then northeasterly wind over the period, with wind-chill making it feel colder. Whilst there will be a fair amount of dry weather, a few showers will still be possible, particularly across eastern and southern parts which may be wintry in places, more especially over high ground. High pressure will likely dominate the weather in the run up to the New Year, slowly drifting to the west. This will maintain largely settled conditions, although with an increasing chance of showery conditions later in the period. Temperatures will be below average much of the time, with frost likely where clear skies and light winds prevail.

High pressure will probably be close to the UK at the start of this period, perhaps most likely centered to the west, and whilst this may allow relatively settled and dry conditions with a risk of frost and fog initially, there will be the chance of some occasional wet weather at times, perhaps more especially in the north and east. Given some relatively cold air close to the UK, this may bring the chance of some wintry hazards in places. Towards mid-month, there is the potential for rather more changeable conditions to develop more widely, although confidence in this aspect of the forecast is currently low.
