Torquay is set for a week of improving weather as conditions clear following a blustery start to the Easter weekend. While northern parts of the United Kingdom have faced severe weather from Storm Dave, the Met Office reports that the South West will see much drier and milder conditions as the week progresses.
Saturday 4 April begins with overcast skies and a high of 14°C, along with gusty winds reaching up to 45mph. However, the outlook improves by Sunday 5 April, which will see sunny intervals and a temperature of 12°C. The weather will continue to brighten through the start of the week, with Monday reaching 13°C and Tuesday rising to 15°C under sunny skies.
The warm spell is expected to peak on Wednesday 8 April, which is forecast to be the warmest day of the week with sunny conditions and a high of 18°C. This shift to warmer weather aligns with the typical mild climate of the English Riviera, where April daytime temperatures usually average around 13°C.
Residents and visitors should take note of changing environmental factors during this period. The Met Office has issued a warning that UV levels will be moderate throughout the week, and sunscreen is advised, particularly during midday hours. Additionally, those sensitive to allergens should be aware that pollen levels are forecast to be high over the weekend and will rise to very high on Monday and Tuesday.
While the region is currently enjoying this settled period, the long-range outlook suggests that more changeable weather may return later in April. The forecast indicates that Atlantic weather systems could bring further spells of rain and stronger winds after 8 April.
