Residents in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, can expect a mild but unsettled start to March 2026 as weather systems bring rain and strong winds to the area. The Met Office predicts temperatures will reach highs of 12°C to 14°C, which is warmer than the usual average of 10°C.
While the weather will feel warmer, conditions will be changeable with heavy rain and a risk of gales at times. These windy periods may affect people attending local events during the first week of the month, including a Wedding Fayre at Mercure Gloucester Bowden Hall on March 1, 2026, or a song recital by James Gilchrist listed by Visit Gloucester for March 7, 2026.
High tides on the River Severn are predicted to reach heights of approximately 11 metres on March 1, 2026, and nearly 12 metres on March 2, 2026. Records from North Somerset Council and Explore Gloucestershire indicate this will likely result in a natural surge known as the Severn Bore, though spectators should be careful of wet conditions near the river.
The mild weather is expected to last until March 10, 2026, before a different atmospheric pattern potentially moves in. According to the Met Office, this change could bring much colder and drier weather to the region between March 11, 2026, and March 25, 2026.
