Residents in Luton should prepare for a noticeable change in the weather this Sunday, 10 May 2026, as strong winds and cooler temperatures arrive following a warmer Saturday.

According to the Met Office, Luton will experience its windiest day of the week on Sunday, with gusts reaching up to 34mph. While the daytime high is expected to reach 14°C, the actual feel of the air will be significantly cooler, with a wind chill making it feel closer to 10°C.

This shift comes after a mild Saturday, which is forecast to be the warmest day of the week with temperatures hitting 20°C. The current change is part of broader unsettled conditions across the United Kingdom for mid-May, driven by low pressure systems moving through the region.

To prepare for the blustery conditions, the Met Office recommends that residents secure any loose items in their gardens. This includes items such as wheelie bins, garden furniture, trampolines, and tents that could be moved by the wind.
