The weather took a slight dip over the weekend, with cooler temperatures compared to the unusually warm Easter weekend we experienced where temperatures were in the mid 20s.

Chris Bell, forecaster at Weatherquest, said: “The next two or three days will be dry and sunny but slightly chilly in the wind.

“There will be a moderate to fresh east to northeasterly winds, meaning temperatures on the Suffolk coast will be around 11C and about 15C inland.”

The temperatures are predicted to increase further by Thursday and Friday, as the winds drop towards the weekend.

Mr Bell explained: “On Thursday and Friday temperatures will be in the upper teens, around 17C on the coast and 19C inland.

“There is not much chance of rain during the week, but a small chance on Saturday afternoon and into Sunday.”
