Great Birmingham Run 2023: Hour by hour Met Office weather forecast for Birmingham

The Great Birmingham Run is just around the corner, and thousands of participants will be hitting the city streets. There will be many more on the lookout to see if they can spot their friends and family. 

As with nearly all outdoor events, the weather will be of interest to those involved. Ahead of the big day, we’ve compiled information from the Met Office to piece together how the forecast is looking for race day. 

It looks as though there won’t be any rain around to ruin the day. However, muggy temperatures might make some stretches of the routes slightly more tricky. 

From 7am onwards, there will be plenty of clouds around Birmingham. In addition to this, even at this early time, temperatures will be up in double figures. 

At around 4pm, the high temperature in Birmingham could reach 19C. This will mean that drinking plenty of water will be very important for those taking part.
