Residents in Ipswich can look forward to a week of largely sunny and dry weather, according to the latest data from the Met Office. The forecast, updated on 22 April 2026, predicts mostly bright conditions from Wednesday 22 April through Tuesday 28 April, with temperatures expected to climb to a peak of 20°C on Saturday.
While days will be warm, the nights are set to remain cold. Temperatures are predicted to drop to 4°C overnight from Friday into Saturday morning. Furthermore, residents should be aware of morning fog patches on Friday and Saturday, which may reduce visibility to as low as 300 metres during the early hours before conditions clear by mid-morning.
Light winds are expected throughout the week, offering pleasant conditions for outdoor activities such as visiting Orwell Country Park or walking along the Stour and Orwell Walk. However, those heading outside should take precautions, as the Met Office advises that UV levels will be at a moderate strength during midday, and sunscreen is recommended. Additionally, hay fever sufferers should note that pollen levels are expected to rise to high on Friday and Saturday.
Looking further ahead, the long-range outlook suggests that high pressure will likely remain near or over the UK, which should lead to continued dry and settled weather beyond this week.
