Luton weather: Here’s when sleet, rain and hail is set to hit this week

The UK has had a tough run of luck with the weather in February, with three consecutive weeks of rain, hail, and in some places, snow. But, while Storms Ciara and Dennis might be over, the country is still likely to endure another week of low pressure, bringing with it some unpleasant weather.

Here is a closer look at Luton’s forecast for the next seven days.

This afternoon the gusty winds and rain will begin to calm slightly, ahead of a cold, but mostly dry night.

Sunshine on Tuesday morning will be punctuated by intermittent cloud, with only a slight chance of rain. But as the afternoon goes on, widespread hail showers and rain become more likely.

Wednesday (26 Feb)

Wednesday will be cloudy and chilly, with temperatures sitting at around 5C throughout the day, but there should also be intervals and a fresh breeze.
