What is the Met Office saying for Shrewsbury today?
The Met Office outlook for Shrewsbury this week points to a generally unsettled picture, with fronts moving in from the west across the Shropshire plain.

The surrounding Shropshire hills — the Long Mynd and the Wrekin — influence wind direction and can lead to localised cloud build-up.
