The UK is going from Storm Dave to sunny days – and could have the warmest start to April in six years.<\/p>\n

Temperatures could climb as high as 24C (75F) today and will be well above the average for this time of year in most parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Western parts of Wales are forecast to get the best of the weather, eclipsing the peak of 20.9C (70F) recorded in Worcestershire last week.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is expected to be even warmer, but temperatures are expected to plunge to 10C to 13C (50F to 55F) as we head into Thursday.<\/p>\n

All of this is a stark contrast to the Easter weekend, when Storm Dave’s 70mph winds caused widespread damage and disruption.<\/p>\n

Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said the weather is “unusually warm” as average temperatures should normally be about 15C (59F) in early April.<\/p>\n

He added: “The wind is coming in from a southerly direction, and with not many clouds around, it should be well above the early April average.<\/p>\n

“The last time we saw similar temperatures this time of year was in 2020, when we reached 26C (78.8F) in Cornwall.”<\/p>\n

Hayfever sufferers might not welcome the warmer weather with open arms, as a “very high” red pollen warning is in place across England and Wales.<\/p>\n

A particularly high tree pollen count is expected nationwide, exacerbated by light winds.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, a Met Office spokesperson explained: “It’s all purely down to the wind direction at this time of year.<\/p>\n

“For the next couple of days we’re dragging in that warm, southerly wind, which will allow us to see temperatures reach the mid-20s.<\/p>\n

“As we go into Thursday, we’ll see temperatures return to normal for the time of year as we see the weather turn more changeable with advances of rain and showers.”<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, temperatures are set to hover at about 10C (50F) in the North, and 14C (57F) in the South.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
