Residents of Royal Tunbridge Wells can expect a return to mild and mostly dry weather this week, following the unseasonably warm spell that saw temperatures climb across the United Kingdom earlier this month.
According to the Met Office, local temperatures will gradually rise from 12°C today, 10 April, to a high of 16°C by next Thursday, 16 April. While the region will see a mix of cloud and sunny intervals, the period is expected to remain largely dry, in keeping with April’s status as a typically dry month for the town.
Those planning outdoor activities should be aware that birch pollen levels are currently high. The forecast indicates that pollen counts will remain very high through today and tomorrow, 11 April, before dropping to a high level by Monday, 13 April. Air quality in the area is currently rated as “Low,” which is officially classified by the Met Office as “good” condition.
This upcoming period of settled weather follows an exceptionally warm start to the month, which reached a peak of 26.6°C on 8 April. Paul Gundersen, chief forecaster at the Met Office, described that brief event as a “brief but notable spell of very warm weather for early April, with temperatures more typically associated with late spring or early summer.”
