Residents in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, are preparing for a sharp drop in temperatures this week as a warm spring spell is replaced by cold winds and rain. The Met Office expects daytime highs to fall from 14°C on Tuesday to just 7°C by Thursday, 26 March 2026.
Rain is expected to arrive overnight on Monday, with an 80 per cent chance of wet weather forecast for Tuesday afternoon and evening. This change follows a mild weekend across the country where temperatures reached the mid-teens.
Wind speeds are set to increase during the middle of the week, with gusts reaching up to 38mph on Wednesday morning and afternoon. By Thursday morning, the wind chill will make the air feel as cold as minus 4°C in exposed areas of the town.
The regional forecast for North East England also suggests that wintry showers could reach the coast by Thursday. Chief Forecaster Steve Willington said that it is not unusual to see colder spells and wintry weather during March.
