Residents in Luton, Bedfordshire, should prepare for a return to wet and unsettled weather starting Friday 6 March 2026, after a brief period of mild sunshine. The change in conditions is expected to bring persistent rain and cloud to the area following the current spell of mild weather.

According to the Met Office, Thursday 5 March 2026 will be a sunny day with temperatures reaching a peak of 16°C. This pleasant weather is not expected to last, as the sky will turn cloudier overnight.

Rain is forecast to arrive on Friday, with the chance of precipitation reaching 40 per cent at 10am and rising to 90 per cent by 3pm. These wet conditions are likely to cause travel delays for commuters and people planning outdoor activities over the weekend.

Looking ahead to the middle of March 2026, forecasters predict that unsettled weather will become more widespread across the country. This period is expected to be marked by more frequent rain and stronger winds throughout the region.
