Residents in Swadlincote can expect an unsettled start to the week as changeable spring weather brings a mix of sunshine and showers, before temperatures begin to climb toward the weekend. According to the Met Office, the region will see a gradual warming trend, with daytime temperatures rising from 13°C on Thursday 14 May to 20°C by Wednesday 20 May.

The Met Office indicates that the local weather will remain unsettled through the end of the week, with sunny spells, showers, and a potential risk of hail and thunder affecting Thursday. Those planning to be outdoors should remain prepared for these variable conditions. During this time, temperatures will feel relatively cool, ranging between 10°C and 13°C.

The wind will be a notable factor next week, particularly on Tuesday 19 May, which is forecast to be the windiest day with gusts reaching 29mph. This will coincide with light showers and a 60% chance of rain during the early morning.

For those looking to plan outdoor activities, Wednesday 20 May is expected to be the most settled day of the coming week. The forecast suggests sunny intervals and a lower chance of rain, dropping to below 5% by the evening. Looking further ahead, the long-range outlook suggests that high pressure building from the south may bring more consistently warm and settled conditions to the area as May draws to a close.

Throughout the current week, pollen levels are expected to remain low, and UV levels will generally be moderate. Residents should note that UV levels are expected to rise to high from Thursday 21 May onwards.
