Residents in Slough can look forward to a warmer and mostly dry week as temperatures steadily climb following the recent weekend. According to the Met Office, the area will see a warming trend, with daytime temperatures rising from 13°C on Monday to 19°C by Friday, before settling between 17°C and 18°C over the weekend.
While Monday brings a chance of light showers, the remainder of the week is expected to be predominantly dry with sunny intervals, with the exception of Wednesday where there’s a 40% chance of rain. There are no weather warnings currently in force for the area, and the Environment Agency has assessed the flood risk for Berkshire as very low for the next five days.
Despite the pleasant conditions, those who suffer from hay fever should remain cautious. Pollen levels across the region are currently high, driven primarily by birch trees, with the oak pollen season also beginning. Met Office Senior Scientist Lucy Neal noted that the recent warm, dry, and breezy weather creates conditions that allow pollen to be released by trees and carried over longer distances.
During the warmer midday hours, the Met Office advises that ultraviolet levels will be moderate, suggesting that residents may want to use sunscreen when spending time outdoors. While air pollution levels remain low, the warming trend for the week puts temperatures slightly above the typical April average of 14°C for Slough.
