Residents in Cheltenham are set for a warm and sunny end to the week as high pressure brings dry and fine conditions to the region. According to the Met Office, the area can expect temperatures to edge upwards, making for pleasant conditions for those planning outdoor activities.

Friday 24 April will see sunny weather with temperatures reaching 20°C. Saturday 25 April is expected to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures hitting 21°C and a pleasant feel-like temperature of 19°C. With a less than 5% chance of rain on both days, the conditions will remain dry throughout.

Saturday will also feature the lightest winds of the period, with maximum gusts of 13mph, creating ideal conditions for weekend walks or time in the garden. For those heading outdoors, the Met Office advises that UV levels are moderate, and sunscreen is recommended during the middle of the day. Sunrise is at 05:53 on Friday and 05:51 on Saturday, with sunset both days after 20:20.

While the weather remains favourable, residents should note that pollen levels are classified as high across the region for both days, which may impact those who suffer from hay fever. The South West regional forecast confirms that these warm and sunny conditions will persist into the weekend.
