Colchester residents should prepare for a change in the weather this week as temperatures begin to climb. According to the Met Office, the area is set to move away from the wind and rain of the past few days toward a warmer, drier trend.
Monday will feel quite cool, starting with a frosty low of 1°C. However, conditions are expected to improve significantly as the week progresses. Residents can look forward to sunny spells, with temperatures reaching 16-18°C by Tuesday and Wednesday, making for a much milder mid-week period.
While the warmer weather is ideal for getting outdoors, those with allergies should take precautions. The Met Office has reported that pollen levels across the region are expected to be high to very high throughout the week. Birch and ash pollen are the primary allergens currently affecting the area.
Those heading out during the week should keep a coat handy for Monday morning, but sunglasses may be necessary for the remainder of the week as the weather clears. The warmer conditions are driven by a shift in atmospheric pressure, providing a welcome change after the gusty conditions experienced over the Easter weekend.
