Residents in Luton can expect a gradual shift to warmer weather over the coming week as temperatures climb from 13°C on Thursday 14 May to 20°C by Wednesday 20 May. According to the Met Office, the area will transition from the cool, fresh conditions that have dominated recently to brighter, milder weather as the week progresses.
While the start of the period remains cool due to ongoing northerly winds, conditions will improve throughout the week. Residents should be prepared for some light rain over the weekend, with a 50% chance of showers at 6am on Sunday morning. Tuesday 19 May is expected to be the windiest day of the week, with gusts potentially reaching up to 29mph.
For those planning time outdoors, the Met Office advises that UV levels will reach moderate to high throughout the week. It is recommended to use sunscreen during sunny spells and to take care during the middle of the day. Pollen levels are expected to remain low for all species, though some early season grass pollen may be present.
Looking further ahead, the long-range forecast suggests a broader warming trend for the end of May across the southern parts of the UK, potentially leading to a period of rather warm weather after the recent unseasonable chill.
