Residents in Portsmouth are being advised to prepare for a shift in weather this week, with strong winds and frequent showers expected to move into the area by Wednesday. While Tuesday will remain relatively calm with sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 17°C, conditions will turn unsettled mid-week.
According to the Met Office, Wednesday will see wind gusts reaching up to 37mph, with the strongest winds expected throughout the afternoon. These blustery conditions will make the air feel significantly cooler than the actual temperature of 16°C, with the wind chill making it feel closer to 11°C.
Showers are expected to begin on Wednesday morning, with an 80 per cent chance of rain between 9am and 11am. The forecast for both Wednesday and Thursday includes frequent, blustery showers that may occasionally become heavy, with an added risk of thunder across the region.
Those with outdoor plans should take these conditions into account, as the wind and rain are expected to persist throughout Thursday. Residents may wish to check local updates if they are planning travel or outdoor activities during this time.
