Birmingham weather: How hot will it be in Birmingham this week? full Birmingham & West Midlands forecast

The sun is shining across the West Midlands on Tuesday morning (May 7) - but will the nice weather last this week?

Birmingham and Worcester, with a high of 18 degrees, are the warmest areas in the Midlands today. In Birmingham, temperatures are expected to rise to about 19 degrees at around 5pm on Tuesday.

According to the Met Office, temperatures are also expected to rise to 20 and 21 degrees on Wednesday (May 8) and Thursday (May 9), with cloudy changing to sunny intervals throughout both days.

It’s also going to be another warm and relatively sunny weekend with temperatures of 22 and 21 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.

The warmer weather is expected to peak later in May. The Met Office long-range forecast for 9-18 May predicts there could be some ‘very warm days’ during those dates. So there’s no forecast for a heatwave just yet, but we can expect warmer and sunny weather throughout May in the Midlands.
