Residents in Hinckley can expect a week of two halves, starting with a chilly morning on Monday 6 April before temperatures climb to levels well above the typical average for early spring.
According to the Met Office, which updated its forecast at 5:51am on 4 April, Monday will begin with a feels-like temperature of -1°C. This drop brings a risk of ground frost, and gardeners or those with outdoor plans are advised to take precautions to protect sensitive plants overnight into Tuesday morning.
Following this cold start, the area will see a period of warm, sunny weather. Temperatures are expected to reach 18°C on Tuesday 7 April and climb further to 19°C on Wednesday 8 April. These daytime highs are notably warmer than the usual April averages for the region, which typically see temperatures around 13°C.
While the sunshine will be welcomed, those sensitive to allergens should be aware that the forecast indicates very high pollen levels from Monday through Wednesday. The mild conditions will be short-lived, however, as the weather is set to turn cloudier by Thursday 9 April and Friday 10 April. Forecasters are predicting a 30% chance of rain toward the end of the week, with daytime temperatures cooling back down to between 13°C and 14°C.
