Residents in Carlton can look forward to a warm and sunny week ahead, as the Met Office predicts rising temperatures and dry conditions across the region. The mercury is expected to climb from 16°C on Wednesday to a peak of 21°C on Saturday 25 April 2026, offering ideal conditions for those planning to spend time outdoors.
The forecast remains largely settled due to a period of high pressure across the UK, with less than 5% chance of rain expected for most of the week. While Wednesday will see the highest winds with gusts reaching up to 30mph, conditions will become much calmer as the week progresses, with maximum gusts dropping to 18mph by Saturday.
The pleasant weather makes for an excellent opportunity to visit local outdoor spaces, such as the Arnot Hill Park, which is maintained by Gedling Borough Council. However, those sensitive to allergens should take note that pollen levels are forecast to rise from moderate to high by the weekend, specifically due to birch and oak pollen.
This week’s forecast follows a trend of warmer spring weather, with Met Office statistics from last year noting that April 2025 was the sunniest April on record for the UK, with temperatures reaching 1.7°C above the long-term average.
