Residents in Haverhill, Suffolk, can expect a period of dry and calm weather starting in early March 2026, according to the latest national weather service predictions. The forecast provides a potential reprieve for the region following a winter that the Met Office has described as part of a historically warm and often unsettled year.
According to the Met Office long-range outlook, high pressure is likely to settle over the south and southeast of the UK between 3 March and 12 March 2026. This shift is expected to bring plenty of dry weather and sunshine, providing a useful window for gardening and outdoor activities after a notably damp February.
The upcoming dry spell is particularly significant for Suffolk’s agricultural sector. Local farmers are preparing for “spring drilling”—the planting of key crops such as sugar beet and onions. While wet soil conditions are a common challenge during this season, the forecast suggests that firming ground will soon allow tractors to return to the fields to begin the planting cycle, which traditionally relies on a dry window in March.
While daytime temperatures during this period are expected to be near or slightly above the usual average for March, the Met Office has warned that patchy frost remains possible overnight under clear skies. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the 10-day dry window before more changeable, Atlantic-driven weather potentially returns later in the month.
