Residents in Reading can look forward to a warm and sunny end to the working week, though conditions are expected to become more unsettled as the weekend progresses. According to the Met Office, temperatures will remain pleasant through Friday before rain becomes more likely.
Thursday 30 April will see sunny conditions with a high of 23°C. Friday 1 May is forecast to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures reaching 24°C and plenty of sunshine. However, those heading out should be aware that pollen levels are currently high due to oak pollen, and moderate UV levels mean sunscreen is recommended for anyone spending time outdoors.
The weather will begin to change on Saturday 2 May. While the day will feature some sunny intervals and temperatures around 21°C, the risk of rain will increase to 40% by the mid-afternoon. By Sunday 3 May, the weather will shift to wetter conditions, with a 70% chance of light rain expected early in the morning around 6am.
Tom Crabtree from the Met Office, noted that conditions will become more unsettled from Friday onwards as showers and rain move in from the southwest. Some of these downpours could be heavy or possibly thundery as the weekend continues.
