It is Thursday evening and we have had a scorcher in the Black Country and North Worcestershire.

Is there anything better than a beautiful English summer's day? Well the good news is there is another tomorrow to enjoy.

But there is nothing worse than being stuck in a traffic jam on a beautiful day so let's see how the traffic is this evening.

There are delays in Kingswinford on Stalling's Lane due to roadworks at Charterfield Drive so avoid the area of you can.

In Quinton, Victoria Avenue is closed due to water main work and there is heavy traffic on the Birmingham New Road in Dudley.

If you are heading to West Bromwich beware one lane of the Black Country New Road is closed due to roadworks.

If you are planning on catching the Metro this evening beware there might be delays due to the hot weather playing havoc with the points at Wednesbury
