Residents in Bloxwich should prepare for a significant change in weather conditions as warm temperatures are set to drop sharply starting Thursday 9 April. The Met Office has reported that while Wednesday 8 April remains sunny and warm with temperatures reaching 22°C, a shift in wind direction will bring noticeably cooler air and unsettled conditions for the remainder of the week.
This cooling trend is driven by an Atlantic weather system moving in from the west. Temperatures are expected to fall to 15°C on Thursday and continue to drop to 12°C by Friday. When combined with stronger winds, it will feel considerably colder, with the wind chill making it feel closer to 8°C on Friday.
Thursday afternoon will bring gusty conditions with wind speeds reaching up to 35mph, alongside a 40% chance of rain between 2pm and 5pm. Those planning to be outdoors are advised to secure any loose items in their gardens and carry rainwear. Friday is expected to remain cloudy, with a 40% chance of rain arriving around 5pm.
The unsettled weather will continue into the weekend. Light rain is likely in the early hours of Saturday 11 April, followed by gusty winds of up to 32mph and sunny intervals later in the day. Additionally, the region is seeing very high pollen levels, which are expected to persist from Wednesday through Saturday.
