Stoke (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Dry, settled, and increasingly cloudy through this evening and overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry and fine evening with clear skies at first. Patchy fog may form for a time in rural parts of Shropshire and Hereford, before cloud thickens from the east overnight. Generally rather settled with light winds. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Thursday:

Rather cloudy to start, but low cloud will soon lift and break to leave plenty of sunny spells. Feeling warm in the sunshine, before becoming cloudier again by the evening. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Turning more unsettled through the period with heavy, possibly thundery showers or longer spells of rain at times, mixed with sunnier intervals. Feeling warm and humid.

Showers with the potential for some longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery at times, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south but tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible then possible, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
