Blakenhall (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Further spells of wet and windy weather to come.

Today:

The morning will start dry and breezy with occasional bright spells. However, cloud will thicken from the southwest with wet and rather windy weather arriving by the afternoon. Some heavy rain developing. Perhaps drying up later. A mild day though. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

The evening will begin cloudy with blustery showers. It should become largely dry overnight with clear periods developing. It will stay breezy, although this should prevent a frost from forming. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

Apart from the occasional shower, mainly in the west, Friday promises to be a much drier and brighter day with sunny spells. Feeling cool due to the breeze though. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Saturday will start bright, though it will turn windy with some rain arriving overnight. Sunday and Monday look rather cloudy with further patchy rain, although the wind will ease somewhat.

Showers or longer spells of rain are likely to continue at first for many parts of the country, perhaps heavy at times, but gradually over the weekend the weather is expected to become more settled. Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to see this change first, with spells of rain perhaps slower to clear further across the south. Into the following week, high pressure is expected to become more widely established. Winds will be light and clearer skies are likely, however this does not rule out the odd shower, especially around coasts. High pressure and settled weather will result in temperatures falling to closer to average, with overnight frosts and morning fog which could be slow to clear.

High pressure will probably remain influential across the UK during this period. This means an increasing likelihood of dry weather compared to the winter so far. Despite the greater signal for settled weather, showers or occasional bands of rain are still possible at times, especially later in the period towards January. These could be wintry in nature. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal for the time of year.
