Residents of Wellingborough can look forward to a period of warmer, sunnier weather this week as the region transitions away from the disruption caused by Storm Dave over the Easter holiday. According to the Met Office, the area will see a significant rise in temperatures, with conditions peaking well above the typical average for early April.
While Monday, 6 April, began with cold overnight temperatures that felt as low as -1°C, the rest of the week is expected to become increasingly settled. Temperatures are set to climb steadily, reaching a warm high of 20°C by Wednesday, 8 April. This is notably higher than the standard April average for Wellingborough, which typically sees daytime highs of around 14°C.
The shift to warmer weather follows the passing of Storm Dave, which brought intense wind gusts of up to 90mph to exposed coastal areas elsewhere in the UK over the weekend. With the storm now cleared into the North Sea, a ridge of high pressure has moved in to provide more stable conditions for the local community.
Those planning to enjoy the outdoor weather should be aware that pollen levels are forecast to be high throughout much of the week, reaching a peak of very high levels on Tuesday, 7 April. This may be of particular note for residents who suffer from hayfever.
