Residents in York can look forward to warmer and sunnier weather early next week, following a windy and unsettled Easter weekend caused by Storm Dave. While the city faces a period of strong gusts until Sunday, temperatures are expected to climb significantly by the middle of the week.
According to the Met Office, a yellow weather warning for wind is currently in place for York, starting at 5pm on Saturday 4 April and lasting until 7am on Sunday 5 April. During this time, the city could see maximum wind gusts reach 49mph on Saturday evening between 9pm and 10pm. The RAC has warned that these conditions will make driving across northern parts of the country particularly challenging throughout the bank holiday.
Conditions are expected to improve significantly by Monday 6 April, which is forecast to be the driest day of the weekend. A brief ridge of high pressure will bring settled, sunny weather, with wind gusts expected to drop to a maximum of 18mph.
This trend of warmer, sunny weather will continue into the following days, with temperatures in York reaching 17°C on Tuesday 7 April and 18°C on Wednesday 8 April. However, those who suffer from hay fever should be aware that pollen levels across the region are expected to escalate from high on Saturday to very high by Tuesday and Wednesday, driven by high levels of birch and ash pollen.
