Residents in Kingswinford can look forward to a week of sunny weather as temperatures steadily climb, reaching a peak of 21°C this coming Saturday. According to the Met Office, the clear conditions are expected to persist from Wednesday 22 April through to Tuesday 28 April.
The forecast suggests comfortable conditions for those planning to spend time outdoors, with light to moderate winds and a very low chance of rain throughout the week. While the warm weather is welcomed by many, health experts are advising caution for the estimated 13 million people in the UK who suffer from hay fever.
Pollen levels across the West Midlands are currently moderate but are set to rise to high from Friday 24 April onwards, with birch and oak pollen expected to be the primary allergens. Met Office Senior Scientist Lucy Neal explained that the current warm, dry and sunny conditions are ideal for trees to release pollen, allowing it to be carried over longer distances.
Those spending time in the sun should also remain mindful of UV levels, which are expected to be moderate throughout the week. The Met Office recommends that residents take care during the middle of the day and use sunscreen to protect themselves from the sun.
