A sharp cold snap has gripped the West Midlands, bringing icy conditions and morning frost, though the region has largely escaped the significant snowfall seen further north.
Latest Weather Forecast Details
The Met Office has issued ice weather warnings for the area this week. While scarves and hats are out in force, most of the West Midlands has woken up to noticeably colder weather rather than the snow blanketing parts of northern Britain. Some snowfall has been confined to the region's hills and peaks.
The forecast for Thursday, November 20th, predicts a chilly start with widespread frost and a risk of ice on untreated surfaces. The day will be clear and dry with plenty of sunny intervals, but it will feel cold due to brisk northerly winds. The maximum temperature will struggle to reach 4 °C.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Tonight will remain largely clear and dry, with frost reforming under clear skies as temperatures plummet to a minimum of -2 °C. Winds are expected to ease overnight.
Friday will see another chilly start but will stay dry with prolonged sunny spells. Conditions will turn slightly milder with light winds, making it feel more pleasant in the sunshine, with a high of 5 °C.
The weather is set to change from Saturday, turning increasingly cloudy and changeable. Bands of rain and showers will push eastwards across the region, making it breezy at times. However, it will feel milder as temperatures return to near average for this time of year.
