Residents in Poole can expect a mix of blustery conditions over the coming weekend, followed by a trend toward warmer and sunnier weather by the middle of next week. According to the Met Office, temperatures will gradually climb, reaching a high of 16°C by next Thursday.
This Friday, 10 April, remains cloudy with a maximum temperature of 12°C. Saturday will bring sunny intervals, though it will feel quite windy with gusts reaching 41mph by mid-afternoon. Sunday continues with sunny intervals and temperatures rising to 14°C, though residents should be prepared for colder overnight lows dipping to 3°C.
The week ahead brings more settled conditions. Monday, 13 April, will see sunny intervals with a high of 13°C. By Tuesday, 14 April, temperatures are expected to reach 14°C during a sunny day. The warming trend continues through Wednesday, which is expected to reach 15°C, before peaking at 16°C on Thursday, 16 April.
Pollen levels will fluctuate throughout this period, requiring hay fever sufferers to plan accordingly. Currently, levels are driven by high concentrations of birch pollen, alongside ongoing ash pollen and the early stages of oak pollen. According to Met Office Senior Scientist Lucy Neal, recent warm and sunny weather has created conditions ideal for trees to release pollen, which can then be carried over longer distances.
Pollen levels are categorised as high for Friday and Tuesday, while dropping to moderate levels over the weekend and reaching a low point on Monday. Those seeking advice on managing hay fever symptoms during this time can find guidance through the National Health Service or the national charity Allergy UK.
