Residents in Basingstoke, Hampshire, can look forward to warmer and more settled weather starting next week as temperatures are forecast to reach 17°C by Wednesday, 18 March 2026.

According to the Met Office, this shift will bring a period of spring sunshine to the area. This follows a week of cooler weather, where temperatures sat around 9°C on Friday, 13 March 2026, accompanied by clouds and light rain.

The drier and warmer outlook marks a change from the wind and rain that has affected the town through mid-March. Forecasters expect the conditions to become more stable by the middle of next week, with most parts of the country becoming predominantly dry.

This period of pleasant weather is expected to last through the middle of the month. It provides a welcome transition into the spring season for the local community after the recent spell of wet and wintery conditions.
