Residents in Luton should prepare for a change in weather this week as the Met Office warns of unsettled conditions, including heavy showers and strong winds. While Tuesday, 12 May, begins with sunny intervals and a high of 15°C, the weather will turn blustery and damp as the week progresses.
Wednesday, 13 May, is expected to be the most challenging day. Local wind gusts are set to reach 38mph, which will make the daytime high of 14°C feel much colder, closer to 9°C. Forecasters are predicting a very high chance of heavy rain during the afternoon hours.
The unsettled weather will continue through Thursday and Friday, with temperatures reaching 13°C. Despite the cool and rainy conditions, UV levels are rated as high from Wednesday through Friday. The Met Office advises residents to use sun protection during midday hours when the sun is at its strongest, even when temperatures remain low.
Looking ahead to the weekend, residents can expect a drier turn with temperatures rising to 16°C by Sunday. This shift follows a period of low-pressure systems moving across the region, which has caused the changeable weather pattern expected throughout mid-May.
