Residents in Haverhill can look forward to the warmest day of the week this Friday, 17 April 2026, as temperatures are expected to reach 18°C. This shift to warmer conditions follows a rainy Thursday, which saw highs of 16°C, according to the Met Office.
Friday’s forecast temperature is notably higher than the typical April average for Suffolk, which generally sits between 11°C and 12°C. While the day will feature sunny intervals and some brighter spells, the weather may turn slightly in the evening, with a 20% chance of rain.
Although the warmer weather offers an opportunity for outdoor plans, those who suffer from hay fever should remain cautious. The Met Office has confirmed that pollen levels will remain high through Friday, as birch pollen continues to affect a large proportion of sufferers across the country. These levels are expected to drop to low by Saturday and continue into the following week.
Looking ahead to the weekend, conditions are set to be mixed. Rain is likely on Saturday morning, though it should clear to reveal sunny spells. Sunday is expected to be drier and sunnier as winds ease, while Monday will likely be cloudier but remain dry.
