Residents in Royal Leamington Spa can expect a shift in weather this week, with heavy rain and strong winds arriving on Wednesday 15 April 2026. The Met Office has forecasted that Wednesday will be the wettest and windiest day of the week, with rainfall peaking in the afternoon.
The weather is expected to be quite changeable, transitioning from the dry and bright conditions seen on Tuesday morning to heavy rain as the day progresses on Wednesday. Wind gusts in the area are forecast to reach up to 32mph throughout Wednesday, making it the windiest day of the week. While maximum daytime temperatures will reach 17°C, the wind will make it feel closer to 13°C.
Alongside the wet and windy conditions, hay fever sufferers are advised to take precautions as high levels of birch pollen continue to affect the region. According to Met Office Senior Scientist Lucy Neal, current conditions are ideal for trees to release pollen, which can then be carried over longer distances. While pollen levels are expected to be moderate on Wednesday due to the rain, they are classified as high for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
The birch pollen season, which typically lasts from late March to mid-May, is known to affect a significant number of people with more widespread symptoms than other tree pollens. Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates as the weather transitions throughout the week.
