Residents in Norwich can look forward to a week of largely warm weather as high pressure dominates the area. According to the Met Office, this period will bring stable conditions and temperatures that climb throughout the week, reaching a peak of 21°C by Saturday.
While Monday is expected to be warm with temperatures reaching 20°C scattered showers are expected, while there will be a dip on Tuesday to 14°C, accompanied by light rain early in the day. From Wednesday onwards, the temperature will rise daily, moving from 16°C mid-week to the Saturday high. Throughout most of the week, precipitation will remain minimal, though some rain is possible on Monday evening.
Those planning to spend time outdoors should be prepared for varying wind speeds, which are expected to reach gusts of 33 to 35mph on Tuesday and Wednesday before moderating towards the weekend. Additionally, the Met Office advises that pollen levels will be high for most of the week, which may affect those who suffer from hay fever. With moderate UV levels throughout the period, residents are encouraged to wear sunscreen during the middle of the day.
The current mild weather is above the usual average for late April in Norwich, where daytime temperatures typically hover around 13°C. However, this stable spell is expected to change from 1 May onwards, as the long-range forecast indicates that low pressure systems may return, bringing an increased chance of showers and stronger winds.
