Residents in Banbury, Oxfordshire, are being told to prepare for a spell of wet and windy weather starting Tuesday 10 March 2026. According to the Met Office, a significant shift in conditions is expected over the next few days, with the weather peaking on Thursday.

While Tuesday starts with some bright spells, a band of rain is expected to move across the area overnight. These wetter conditions will remain a feature of the local weather through to Thursday 12 March 2026.

The forecast shows that wind speeds will increase throughout the week, with gusts reaching up to 45 mph on Thursday. This blustery weather is expected to settle down and turn colder once the wind and rain clear at the end of the week.
