Residents in Folkestone can expect a bright and largely dry week, as the Met Office forecasts sunny conditions with temperatures climbing towards a peak of 18°C on Saturday, 25 April 2026.
The week begins with breezy conditions on Wednesday, 22 April, which will see the strongest winds of the period with gusts reaching up to 34mph. Winds are expected to ease throughout the remainder of the week, with lighter speeds between 11mph and 17mph. These settling conditions are mirrored at sea, where wave heights will decrease significantly as the week progresses, creating better conditions for water activities by the weekend.
While the weather will be pleasant, the Met Office notes that UV levels remain moderate. Residents planning to spend extended time outdoors during the middle of the day are advised to wear sunscreen. Those who suffer from hay fever should also be aware that pollen levels are expected to be high throughout the week, with significant amounts of oak pollen in the air.
The forecast remains settled with very little chance of rain for most of the week. A small 10% probability of showers is expected on Sunday afternoon, 26 April, at 3pm, but all other days have less than a 5% chance of precipitation. With air quality levels remaining low, it is an ideal week for those looking to enjoy outdoor activities in the local area.
This week’s predicted peak temperature of 18°C is about 5 degrees warmer than the typical April average of 13°C for the town, according to data from Weather Spark.
