Residents in Carlton can look forward to a warm and sunny start to the week before more unsettled weather arrives later on. According to the Met Office, temperatures in the town will rise steadily from 15°C on Monday to reach a peak of 22°C by Wednesday.

This period of warm and dry weather offers an ideal opportunity for local gardening and outdoor activities. As noted by the Thrive Charity, spending time outdoors in the spring can provide significant benefits for physical health and mental wellbeing.

However, the shift in weather is expected on Thursday, when conditions will become more unsettled. The forecast indicates a 40% chance of light rain by 10am, accompanied by wind gusts reaching up to 34mph. Beyond Thursday, the region can expect a more changeable period as Atlantic frontal systems bring further risks of rain and stronger winds.

Those planning to spend time in local parks or gardens should be aware that pollen levels are forecast to remain very high throughout the week. Allergy UK reports that birch pollen, which is particularly prevalent during this season, affects approximately 25% of hay fever sufferers in the UK. Residents sensitive to pollen are advised to take necessary precautions while enjoying the warm spell.

Carlton, located in the Borough of Gedling, is home to over 6,800 people and forms part of the wider Nottingham urban area.
