Solihull Lodge (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with an increasing risk of showers throughout the weekend.

Today:

Saturday will be rather cloudy for many with the chance of some showers breaking out, especially during the afternoon when they could turn heavy. Northern areas are likely to catch the best of any brighter breaks. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Tonight:

Heavy showers continue through this evening, becoming widespread and turning thundery by the end of the night. Breezy, and feeling rather humid outside the showers. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Sunday:

An unsettled, showery morning, heaviest in the west, before brightening up by the afternoon. A few light showers linger in the north, though sunny spells developing elsewhere. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Settled on Monday with occasional sunny spells, though turning cool and unsettled once more on Tuesday with showers widely across the region. Dry, but remaining cool on Wednesday.

This period is expected to start off on a very cool note, with winds from the north or northwest bringing reasonable amounts of sunshine, particularly to southern areas, but also fairly frequent showers to the north, especially coasts and hills. Showers could be of sleet or snow on some of the highest mountain tops. A gradual recovery in temperatures is expected through the rest of the week as winds become more westerly, the focus of rain then changing to west and northwest areas, whilst southern parts likely see a good deal of fine weather. By the following week, confidence is very low, but more settled conditions than of late are most likely overall, especially in the north, and accompanied by warmer temperatures. Any unsettled spells more likely further south.

The focus for wetter weather overall tis more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
