The Met Office has forecast a shift to much drier and warmer weather for Slough, Berkshire, starting on Monday 2 March 2026. This change follows a very wet Sunday morning and is expected to bring bright sunshine and higher temperatures to the region through the first half of the week.
Residents can expect daytime highs to reach 16°C by Thursday, which is warmer than the typical average for this time of year according to Weather Spark. According to the Met Office, these mild conditions come after a 90 per cent chance of rain on Sunday morning, with the likelihood of rainfall dropping to less than 5 per cent on Monday and Tuesday.
The settled conditions are being caused by high pressure building over the South East of England, offering a break from a winter that the Met Office described as feeling “like a season stuck on repeat.” This dry spell should make it easier for people to plan outdoor activities and is expected to help reduce travel delays for commuters using the M4 and M25 corridors.
While the weather will be mostly clear and bright, air pollution levels in the area are predicted to rise from low to moderate by Thursday 5 March 2026. Despite this, the World Weather Online service indicates that the dry and pleasant conditions are likely to stay in place until at least Thursday night.
