12z suddenly cloudy for the weekend AND Monday here  is it actually gonna do this again!

[Snowangel-MK]

Pretty good timing then? There's always the Bull Ring shopping centre in case big Selfridges store, plus others oh and the balti triangle..a mile or two out of the city centre.

 

 

 

I'm hoping the only shopping I will be doing is in the jewellery quarter 

 

Certainly looks like the makings of a great weekend whatever the weather

the only shopping I'll be doing in Brum on saturday is filling my bags for life with tinnies from Bargain Booze in prep for the NWeather monster binge saturday night!

[Staffordshire]

Been very busy lately and only been keeping up with the northern hemisphere snow cover thread but I see there's a chance of one last mini warm up, should be nice before the proper cooler temps arrive

[conor123]

 

Oh dear, where has all this grot appeared from, there was no cloud on the satellite forecast's until this morning's runs, now it looks practically overcast all weekend!

[TonyH]

A moist warm Sw flow. a long sea fetch plus its Autumn unfortunately would never guarantee sunshine. Should start to show eventually during Sunday and more especially Monday as the flow turns more southerly.

I agree what's the point of having warmth without sunny skies! Even this morning for the Weekend it's not looking good for sunshine,

I would rather have it cold and sunny than just grey yucky stuff.

 Can you pick me up a bottle of dry white while your there then please aj 

[conor123]

Luckily slight upgrades again this morning, a nice surprise! although best to stay cautiously optimistic for now, charts have backed off yesterday's trend for the high toppling on Monday to!.

Looks like it's gradually uphill now this morning's rain has passed through, should brighten up later hopefully!

[conor123]

Wow it really is turning lovely now, very windy but 19c!!! the Thursday warmth strikes again :lol:

[Dancerwithwings]

Same here still only 15c though Make the most of it, before tomorrow & weekend !

[Dancerwithwings]

Yes...a bit of blue does go a long long way...... We have a bit of a hot stop in the WestMidlands..... Im now up to 19c myself ! Hmmmm Now where did i put them shorts

This temperature map is LIVE .....So my temperture was 19c at 4pm.

Yup a really decent afternoon in the end, maxed at 19.1c, 17.6c now.

Still a difficult one with this weekend, Saturday will definitely be grey here no doubt about it with that wind direction! Sunday is a case of hoping that the southerly arrival of clear skies happens sooner rather than later, Monday obviously cloudless when i'm in college all day

Have to laugh at the last minute downgrades the charts continue to throw out! 18z takes Saturday down another few degrees and adds in RAIN to boot with thick slate grey skies all day! I expect Sunday will soon follow, bitterly disappointing after thinking the charts were doing last minute upgrades this morning  I think the reality may well be a one day wonder on Monday for here at this rate!

:o Sun breaking through here and 19.5c, makes a change both Thursday and now today bringing better conditions than expected!

[Summer of 95]

It's nice out there, feels quite warm in the sun. The Shropshire cloud effect does tend to weaken in autumn.

[conor123]

 

Absolutely perfect conditions at the minute as you can see , glorious sunshine with a scattering of lenticular clouds and 21.2c, makes a change for Shropshire to get some of the best weather in the Midlands for once!!

[Dancerwithwings]

Same again tomorrow anyone?

Looking that way - not much to get in be way of a pleasant, warm enough and settled day. Sun amounts needless to say variable although seven days is a long time in terms of UK weather. Be interesting what we'll be talking about in a week or so time

I suspect it's a case of making the most..

Even more interesting what we'll be talking about in around 6 to 8 weeks or so time!

[Summer of 95]

Its drizzling at the moment... hope this disappears by the morning! Lovely day today, dont want tomorrow spoilt..

A warm night to go with that drizzle!... Still 17c here at 11:10... Expecting it to drop over night to 14c way above the average nightly low of 8c.

[Costa Del Fal]

Glad to hear its summer like at home tonight. Very warm here too at 18c still at midnight! Lovely!

[conor123]

Thick cloud and very muggy tonight keeping temperature's well up, 17.1c with a dewpoint not much lower at the minute! tonight's minimum is looking set to be warmer than the majority of the month's maxes :lol:

Here's hoping this stratogloom clears early tomorrow. 

[conor123]

Ahh I see business as usual has returned today aka bog standard slate grey skies, though bright at least!, last night was pretty major on the warm scale though with a low of 16.5c! 

Could of been a scorcher today had cloudzilla burned off, tomorrow seems an odd one, GFS goes for crystal clear skies and 24c whilst BBC have the whole midlands under slate grey skies and 20! hmm.

 

Edit: Sun's trying to break through now :lol:

Blue sky's apart from the odd rouge cloud, and feeling warm in the sun here.

Turned into a nice afternoon again, morning grot gone by noon (why can't it do that in June?) and feeling warm. Close thing as satellite shows mass of grot persisting just 20-30 miles south.
