Grab your brollies as Coventry and Warwickshire is set to be battered by heavy showers today. That is according to the latest local Met Office report.

The online weather forecast shows that rain will lash our region from 8am, with the heaviest rain at 10am and then at 3pm. But there is some let-up, the rain is set to stop by 9pm.

Tomorrow (September 21) is looking to start a lot drier but there is a risk of the return of the rain and the windy weather we have seen of late is set to continue. While the weather is unsettled this week, weather experts have predicted a return of the Indian Summer.

While they have said that we are unlikely to see the warm temperatures that blasted our region at the start of this month, the weather at the start of October is set to be above average for the time of the year.
