Residents in Ipswich can look forward to a period of dry and settled weather this week, with temperatures set to climb as high as 18°C by Wednesday, 8 April 2026. According to the Met Office, this warm spell will bring temperatures significantly above the typical April average of 13°C.
While the weather will be pleasant for outdoor activities, those who suffer from hay fever should be aware that pollen levels across the East of England are expected to be very high from Monday, 6 April, through Wednesday, 8 April. The rise in levels is attributed to high counts of birch and ash pollen. The national charity Allergy UK advises residents to keep an eye on these forecasts and consider limiting time outdoors if they are particularly sensitive.
The sunny, dry conditions are expected to persist until Thursday, 9 April, when rain is forecast to return in the evening with a 40 per cent chance of precipitation. As the weather remains bright for the first half of the week, the public is also advised that UV levels will be moderate. It is recommended that residents take care during the middle of the day and use sunscreen to protect their skin while enjoying the warmer conditions.
