Residents across Warrington should prepare for a wet and windy day this Sunday, 29 March 2026, as unsettled weather moves through the North West. The Met Office is forecasting heavy rain from late morning into early afternoon, with the highest chance of precipitation expected between 11am and 1pm.
Conditions will remain windy throughout the day, with gusts reaching up to 41mph by 6pm. While the actual temperature will climb to 13°C, the wind chill will make it feel much colder, dropping to as low as 4°C during the morning hours and peaking at a perceived 9°C in the afternoon. The regional outlook for the North West suggests that coastal gales may also be possible for a time.
Despite the wet start, the Environment Agency currently assesses the flood risk for Warrington as very low for the next five days. The town also benefits from a £34 million flood risk management scheme, finished in 2017, which provides improved protection to approximately 2,400 local homes and businesses.
For those who have concerns about property protection, Warrington Borough Council provides flooding advice and assistance with sandbags. Residents can contact the council at 01925 443322 for support.
Warrington is home to an estimated 215,391 residents within the local authority area (2024 mid-year estimate). For further information on local facts, residents can visit the Warrington Borough Council website.
The unsettled weather is expected to ease to lighter showers by Sunday evening as the system moves through the region.
