Residents in Crawley can expect a week of mild spring weather, with temperatures set to climb from 13°C on Monday to a peak of 18°C by Friday. According to the Met Office, the area will see mostly dry and settled conditions throughout the week, offering ideal opportunities for outdoor activities.
While temperatures will be comfortable, the week brings mixed conditions. Wednesday is expected to be the cloudiest day, with light rain likely during the morning. Residents should also be prepared for light showers on Monday afternoon. Wind speeds will remain light for most of the week, although gusts may reach up to 25mph on Tuesday.
With moderate ultraviolet levels forecast for the coming days, the national meteorological service advises using sunscreen during midday hours. Additionally, high pollen levels are anticipated through most of the week, including Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Only Wednesday is expected to see a slight reprieve with moderate pollen levels.
This early start to the pollen season is a trend seen across the country. According to Pollen Count Today, Britain’s 2026 pollen season began weeks ahead of schedule, following a warm spell in late February. For the estimated 16 million hay fever sufferers in the UK, organisations like Allergy UK provide resources to help manage symptoms during these active periods.
The current mild spell follows an unusually warm start to spring across the UK. Earlier this month, temperatures reached 26.6°C in some parts of the country, a level more typically associated with late spring or early summer. Looking ahead, while Crawley settles into a mild weekend with temperatures around 17°C, residents are encouraged to stay informed of local weather updates.
