The Midlands Regional Discussion - Part 9

[A.J]

Ok ladies & gents, time for a new thread to discuss the hopefully upcoming warm spell & all things weather for our region

old thread here --------------->

[Costa Del Fal]

Cloudy now but late morning until Mid afternoon was very pleasant with sunshine although hazy thanks to high cloud but still quite nice. From Monday is when the real warm up should begin.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

the Stafford curse again this morning, very heavy rain lasting around 1 hour 9-10 ish, everywhere else dry, was amazed it stopped

[DiagonalRedLine]

The rain and drizzle has come to say hello to Birmingham. That's the rain shield broke.

(although it kinda started raining an hour or so ago).

[Snowy Easterly]

good god what a turgid dull, drizzly day

roll on next week please don't downgrade into some horrible dull easterly

[DiagonalRedLine]

That Telford cloud curse must be very infectious today. :lol: 100% cloudy, but fortunately not raining at the moment and feels reasonably mild, too. Hoping it stays dry for the rest of the day.

Always thinking Positively I see. :lol: Early predictions dont expect much cloud. Even if it does invade at night the very strong Mid-Late May sun should soon burn it off. It it cant burn off now, it never will!

Anyone know what Wales shall be like on Monday, more so the Barmouth area?

See above guide it covers west Wales, but it should just about stay dry and will brighten as the day goes on.

[Harve]

Today is perhaps my least favourite weather imaginable: dry, cloudy and downright cold for the time of year at an 8c max. If it were a few degrees colder or a lot foggier then it would at least be vaguely interesting but right now it is the epitome of banality.

[Ian Ballinger]

I can't believe we might actually see some blue sky this week!!

[conor123]

Oh how lovely it is to FINALLY have an end to this monotonous cool grey weather although only Tuesday & Wednesday look sunny at present.

[Eugene]

Feeling cold this weekend, cool easterly winds, overcast with no sun whatsoever and temps only 10C to 12C.

I hope the mid week period doesnt just stay cloudy but warmer and more humid but it wouldnt surprise me.

Thought tomorrow was supposed to be quite nice

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Yeah a 3 day summer for the W midlands, mon to wed, then cooler with cloud from the east from thursday

[conor123]

It looks like staying cloudy all day tommorow but up to 16/17c at least so an improvement on recent times :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

More doomslayer posts in here. Very warm on Wednesday with 25c possible then slightly cooler but by no means an end to the summery spell. More likely 19-22c from Thursday. Can almost guarantee GFS is underestimating things slightly.

[Snowy Easterly]

awful awful day, firstly luton losing at wembley, which was made worse by that horrible cold easterly wind it was bloody freezing

[conor123]

Wednesday looks like the perfect day, temperatures of 24c and hot sunshine with a risk of a thunderstorm by the evening, oh how nice it will be to finally see blue sky.

[Costa Del Fal]

20-25c from tomorrow until and including Friday. Remaining warm after too.

[Snowy Easterly]

today looks like a big downgrade as it will only be 13c here, when it was meant to be 18c and sunny, this follows a turgid weekend when it was supposed to be 16 or 17c i can only hope that from tomorrow onwards doesn't end up being a let down also

[Ian Ballinger]

Well the sun looks like being short lived, before a return to the gloom

[Snowy Easterly]

yep 3 or 4 days of nice weather, then back to business as usual, when does wall to wall sunshine ever last for 2 weeks or more in this country
