Telford (Telford and Wrekin) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells and scattered showers.

Today:

Sunday sees scattered showers developing across the region, some heavy and potentially thundery. Pleasant in the intermediary sunny spells, even if temperatures are slightly below average for July. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Late sunny spells to end the weekend as showers ease. Dry overnight with largely clear skies and odd short-lived fog patches. A chilly night for July, particularly in rural areas. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Monday:

A bright start to the new week with some pleasant sunny spells and light winds. Turning cloudier into the afternoon and evening ahead of rain arriving overnight. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Cloudy and unsettled throughout Tuesday and Wednesday with outbreaks of rain and showers, heavy at times. Becoming drier on Thursday and pleasanter overall owing to more sunny spells.

A brief period of more widely settled weather looks fairly probable to close out the working week and into the start of the weekend. Many places should see a day or two of fine weather with some sunny spells, albeit on the cool side for July. Thereafter a transition back to rather more changeable conditions looks most likely, though with northwest-southeast split in fortunes. Northwestern areas will probably see more in the way of cloud and rain, whereas southeastern parts stand a better chance of longer periods of dry weather. However, some rain may extend further southeast across all parts of the UK at times. Temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, though some warmer weather is possible in the south coincident with drier, sunnier periods.

As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, and perhaps more likely in the south. However, by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled interludes are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.
