Residents in Cheltenham can look forward to a week of dry and sunny conditions, with temperatures set to climb steadily toward the weekend. According to the Met Office, the clear weather is the result of high pressure across the United Kingdom, which is expected to remain in place through the end of April and into early May.

Temperatures will start at 14°C on Monday and rise throughout the week, reaching a peak of 19°C by Thursday. While the sunshine is expected to persist, residents should prepare for some breezy conditions, with strong easterly winds reaching gusts of up to 30mph on Tuesday and 32mph on Wednesday.

Those planning to spend time outdoors should be aware that UV levels will be moderate throughout the week. Experts recommend using sunscreen during the middle of the day to avoid sun damage.

Hay fever sufferers should also take note, as pollen levels are expected to be high for most of the week due to birch pollen and the start of the oak season. While these conditions are typical for a warm, dry spring, Allergy UK notes that the season has arrived earlier than usual this year, and residents may want to keep their allergy treatments on hand.
