Ipswich residents are set for a period of unseasonably warm and dry weather this week before conditions turn breezy on Thursday. According to the Met Office, temperatures will climb steadily from Monday through Wednesday, offering a break from the typical April average of 13°C.
Wednesday is expected to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures reaching 20°C under sunny skies. While the early part of the week remains calm, those planning outdoor activities should be aware that Thursday will bring the week’s strongest winds. Gusts are forecast to reach 31mph during the afternoon, and there is a 70% chance of rain by the evening.
The Environment Agency has confirmed there are currently no flood warnings for the area, and the overall flood risk for the next five days remains very low. Despite the pleasant temperatures, the region is under a red alert for pollen. The Met Office reports very high levels of birch pollen and high levels of ash pollen, which may affect those who suffer from hay fever.
The current warm spell, caused by high pressure moving in from continental Europe, brings conditions significantly above the usual seasonal norms. Throughout the week, residents can expect moderate UV levels and air quality that is low.
