Residents in Norwich can look forward to a mild week ahead as temperatures climb above the typical April average. According to the Met Office, daytime temperatures in the city will rise from 13°C on Monday to reach 18°C by Thursday and Friday.
While the week is expected to be largely pleasant with sunny intervals, some light rain is possible. The highest chance of showers is on Monday afternoon, with an 80 per cent probability of precipitation between 2pm and 5pm. There are currently no weather warnings in force for the area.
The Met Office has issued a reminder for allergy sufferers, as pollen levels are expected to remain high throughout the week. Birch pollen is currently the most prominent allergen, with ash and emerging oak pollen also present. Those sensitive to pollen may wish to take appropriate precautions.
As the weather remains mild, UV levels are forecast to be moderate. The national weather service advises residents to take care during the middle of the day and suggests using sunscreen if spending time outdoors.
