Residents in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, can expect a sunny and unusually warm day this Thursday, 5 March 2026, as temperatures are set to reach a high of 17°C. According to the Met Office, this warm spell is around six or seven degrees higher than the usual March average of 11°C.

Local people may wish to take advantage of the sunshine by visiting local spots like Jephson Gardens or visiting the market in nearby Kenilworth, which traditionally takes place on Thursdays.
