Haverhill residents can expect a brief period of warm weather this week before conditions turn unsettled for the upcoming bank holiday weekend, according to the Met Office.
Temperatures in the Suffolk market town are set to climb throughout the working week, reaching a peak of 23°C this Friday, 1 May. While the regional forecast suggests temperatures could hit 24°C across parts of the East of England, the local outlook for Haverhill remains consistently warm for those planning outdoor activities.
Those sensitive to allergens should take note that high pollen levels are expected to persist throughout the week. The warm spell is part of a broader trend across the United Kingdom, where temperatures have climbed well above the seasonal average for this time of year.
The weather is expected to shift heading into the May Bank Holiday weekend. While conditions will remain mostly dry initially, Sunday, 3 May, will bring a change with light rain anticipated and a drop in temperature to a maximum of 17°C. The morning of Sunday is expected to be the wettest part of the weekend, which will also result in pollen levels finally dropping to a low level.
Following the weekend, the broader forecast indicates that temperatures across the region will return to more typical seasonal levels or potentially dip below average as the weather becomes more changeable.
