Residents in Kirkby can look forward to a week of mild spring weather, though those planning late-night travel should be aware of upcoming motorway maintenance. According to the Met Office, temperatures throughout the week will range between 13°C and 17°C, with the warmest conditions expected on Saturday 9 May.
The week is set to be generally pleasant, with low pollen levels making it an ideal time for outdoor activities.

During the brighter parts of the week, moderate UV levels are expected, and residents are advised to use sunscreen during the middle of the day.
