Residents in Wolverhampton should prepare for a shift in weather this weekend, as warmer conditions are set to be replaced by more unsettled and rainy weather leading into the Early May Bank Holiday.
According to the Met Office, Friday 1 May will see temperatures reach a peak of 22°C with sunny intervals. However, conditions will turn more changeable as the weekend begins. Deputy Chief Forecaster Tom Crabtree warned that rain and showers are expected to spread in from the southwest, with some downpours potentially becoming heavy or thundery.
Those planning outdoor activities for Saturday 2 May can expect sunny intervals, though there is a 40% chance of afternoon showers and moderate visibility levels of 6km. Sunday 3 May is forecast to be cloudier, with a 50% chance of rain at 10am.
The change in the weather marks a departure from the warmer spell experienced throughout the week. Those sensitive to allergens should also note that the West Midlands region will see high pollen levels throughout the start of the weekend.
