Residents in Macclesfield can look forward to a significant shift in weather following the disruption caused by Storm Dave over the Easter weekend, with warmer temperatures expected to arrive by the middle of next week. According to the Met Office, the unsettled conditions that brought strong winds to the region are set to clear, making way for a period of sunshine and warmer air.

The improvement will be noticeable starting Tuesday 7 April, which is forecast to reach a high of 17C. This trend is expected to continue into Wednesday 8 April, which is anticipated to be the warmest day of the week with temperatures climbing to 18C. These predicted highs are approximately 5C warmer than the typical average for April in Macclesfield, which usually sees daytime temperatures around 13C.

While the warmer weather provides a welcome opportunity for outdoor plans, health experts are advising residents to be mindful of high pollen counts. The upcoming days are expected to see very high levels of birch and ash pollen across the North West. Individuals who suffer from hay fever are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and take necessary precautions as they venture out.

The return to more settled conditions follows the impact of Storm Dave, which brought gusty winds and rain to Cheshire East through the early part of the weekend. With the storm system moving into the North Sea by Sunday afternoon, a ridge of high pressure is building across the area, clearing the way for the brighter spring weather expected in the coming days.
