Met Office on when the rain will finally stop in Coventry as ‘heat dome’ looms

More heavy rain is on its way for Coventry over the next 48 hours, according to the Met Office. But we could finally get a break in the wet weather as we head into the weekend.

And weather maps have forecast that a ‘heat dome’ is set to bring warmer temperatures next week. Early predictions are that it will be the warmest between July 15-17.

But, short term, locals across Coventry and Warwickshire will need their rain macs and brollies. Today will see more ‘unsettled weather’ with the risk of ‘heavy showers’.
