Stoke City F.C. (Stoke-on-Trent) weather

Headline:

Much drier today with sunshine developing, windy with showers tomorrow.

Today:

A cloudy start for most this morning, but perhaps brighter in Shropshire and Herefordshire. Sunnier conditions developing more widely for the afternoon. Feeling cooler than of late, especially in the breeze, but still pleasant enough in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Staying dry this evening with some late sunshine in many places. Remaining mostly dry overnight with clear spells but turning cloudier and breezier later with a few showers. Fairly mild. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Tuesday:

Often cloudy on Tuesday with a band of showery rain feeding across the region from the northwest. Skies brightening in the north during the afternoon. Feeling cool in brisk winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunny spells and showers on Wednesday and Thursday, these heavy in places. Feeling particularly cool in the brisk northwesterly winds, and rather chilly overnight. Drier with lighter winds by Friday.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
