West Midlands weather forecast
Headline:
Sunshine today and over the coming days.

The West Midlands will have another dry and clear night. Temperatures will drop low enough to cause a few mist patches but these will clear soon after the sun rises. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Thursday:
After another chilly start, the region will once again have a fine and warm day on Thursday. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
After early fog patches on Friday, the next two days will be dry, bright and warm. Showers and freshening winds are likely late on Saturday, becoming widespread on Sunday.

UK long range weather forecast
The final week of September will start dry for most with Monday seeing the longest spells of sunshine in the east. Further west cloud, rain and strengthening winds will push in, especially later in the day and overall temperatures will be fresher than recent days. Thereafter, unsettled weather is likely to dominate for many at first with frontal systems bringing spells of rain and the potential for gales, particularly in the west and north. Temperatures will be close to normal, but in any drier spells, days may be warmer than average whilst nights cooler than average. Confidence in the forecast reduces towards the turn of the month, but there is the potential for some more widely settled weather to become established across the country.
Updated:
Confidence in the forecast remains low through this period. However early October may continue to see some fine and settled weather with bright days, but mist, fog and increasingly some frost overnight. Northern parts of the country may continue to see some rain at times, and this might spread across the rest of the country as we go through October. Temperatures are likely to be close to the average, but with settled weather this will bring warmer days and cooler nights.
