Residents in Banbury can look forward to a week of clear, sunny skies as a large area of high pressure brings settled and dry conditions to Oxfordshire. According to the Met Office, temperatures will climb steadily throughout the week, with Saturday 25 April expected to be the warmest day, reaching 20°C.
While daytime conditions will be pleasant, those planning early morning activities should prepare for a chill. Temperatures on Friday 24 April and Saturday 25 April mornings will drop to near or below freezing, bringing a risk of frost, particularly in rural spots. The forecast indicates that rain is highly unlikely, with less than a 5 per cent chance for most of the week.
Although the weather will be ideal for outdoor activities, the public is advised to take precautions. Pollen levels are forecast to remain high throughout the week, and UV levels will reach a moderate intensity during midday hours, making sunscreen an important addition for those spending time in the sun.
