Residents in Haverhill should prepare for a windy start to the Easter weekend, as the Met Office forecasts strong gusts throughout Saturday, 4 April 2026. While the town is not under any official weather warnings, the influence of Storm Dave—a rapidly deepening low-pressure system affecting northern parts of the United Kingdom—will bring noticeably breezy conditions to the region.
On Saturday, winds are expected to reach up to 41mph during the afternoon and evening, with strong conditions lasting from 2pm through to 11pm. Although the actual temperature may reach 16C, the wind chill effect will make it feel closer to 12C. Because gusts of this strength can affect balance, residents planning outdoor activities are advised to avoid exposed areas.
Conditions will turn cooler on Easter Sunday, 5 April, with a daytime high of 12C feeling more like 8C. The weather will settle by Easter Monday, 6 April, which is expected to be the driest day of the weekend. Residents can look forward to clear, sunny skies, though the morning will start off chilly with temperatures around 1C before climbing to 13C by the afternoon. Winds will be significantly lighter on Monday, ranging between 5-10mph.
Those sensitive to allergens should be aware that the Met Office has reported high pollen levels for Saturday and Sunday. These levels are expected to rise to very high on Monday and Tuesday, with birch and ash pollen levels particularly elevated across the East of England.
