Residents in Beeston should prepare for a shift in weather this week as heavy showers and cooler temperatures move into Nottinghamshire following a bright start to Tuesday. According to the Met Office, unsettled conditions are expected to persist through the middle of the week due to a persistent northerly airflow, though warmer weather is forecast to return by the weekend.

While Tuesday 12 May began with sunny intervals and mild conditions, cloud cover is expected to increase throughout the day, bringing the potential for light rain showers. Temperatures are anticipated to peak at 14°C, accompanied by westerly winds reaching 17 mph.

The weather is set to become more challenging on Wednesday 13 May. The Met Office warns that low pressure will bring a showery day across the region, with downpours turning heavy at times. The forecast also includes a risk of thunder and hail, and residents are advised that temperatures will remain below average for mid-May.

Conditions are expected to remain changeable through Thursday, with a mix of sunny spells and further showers. The BBC Weather outlook indicates a gradual improvement as the week progresses, with temperatures climbing to 17°C by Sunday 17 May. Nights throughout this period will remain cool for the time of year, with the possibility of frost in some sheltered areas.
