Residents in Bournemouth can look forward to a warm and mostly sunny week, with temperatures reaching well above the seasonal average for late April. According to the Met Office, the area will experience a stretch of settled weather thanks to a high pressure system positioned near the United Kingdom, leading to peak temperatures of 21°C on both Monday, 27 April, and Wednesday, 29 April.
While the week is expected to be largely dry, those planning to spend time outdoors should be prepared for changing conditions. Easterly winds are expected to pick up mid-week, with gusts reaching up to 38mph on Wednesday and 35mph on Thursday. While rain is unlikely for most of the period, there is a moderate chance of rain on Monday night and Tuesday evening, as well as Saturday afternoon.
The Met Office has advised that ultraviolet levels will remain moderate throughout the week, and residents are encouraged to wear sunscreen during the middle of the day to stay protected. The warmer weather also brings high pollen levels, which may affect those prone to hay fever. Pollen counts are expected to be very high on Monday, with a significant amount of oak pollen in the air, before remaining at a high level from Wednesday through Friday.
With temperatures forecast to be between 7°C and 8°C higher than the usual April average of 13°C to 14°C, local services including those overseen by the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council will likely see increased activity in public spaces. Residents are encouraged to monitor local conditions as they enjoy the unseasonably warm spell.
