Residents in Telford can look forward to a brighter, drier weekend as high pressure moves into the region following a mixed end to the working week. According to the Met Office, updated as of 2:08am on 16 April 2026, there are currently no weather warnings in force for the area.

Thursday will begin with dry and bright conditions, though clouds are expected to increase throughout the afternoon, bringing some patchy rain later in the day. Temperatures are expected to reach a maximum of 15°C. Residents should prepare for a damp start to Friday, with a band of heavy rain moving across Telford during the morning. Conditions are expected to improve later in the day, becoming drier and brighter as winds ease, with a maximum temperature of 16°C.

The weekend promises more settled weather as high pressure builds, providing a largely fine and dry experience for those with outdoor plans. Saturday and Sunday will feature sunny intervals and lighter winds, with temperatures reaching between 13°C and 14°C. However, residents should be prepared for a drop in temperatures on Sunday night, which will turn cold with lows around 2°C.

Those planning to spend time outdoors should note that pollen levels will be high on Thursday and Sunday, dropping to moderate on Friday and Saturday. UV levels are expected to remain moderate throughout the four-day period. Current forecasts suggest this settled spell will continue into the early part of next week, before a potential return to more unsettled weather towards the end of the month.
