Residents in Banbury, Oxfordshire, are being told to prepare for a blustery Sunday on 15 March 2026, as the Met Office forecasts strong winds and rain for the area. The change in weather follows a calm and sunny Saturday, with conditions expected to turn unsettled as the day progresses.

Peak wind gusts are expected to reach 36mph on Sunday afternoon. There is also a 40 per cent chance of rain starting around 12pm, which may lead to outbreaks of locally heavy showers throughout the day.

While temperatures are predicted to reach a high of 11°C, the wind chill will make it feel closer to 7°C for those spending time outdoors. The regional forecast suggests that these strong winds and rain will spread eastwards across the region, which could cause some minor disruption to local travel.
