The weather

Today in Ipswich, we're starting with a sunny morning that will turn cloudy by lunchtime. Temperatures will hover between 3-6°C but will feel notably colder, ranging from -1°C to 4°C throughout the day.

Today's forecast:

• Bright, clear morning with sunshine until around 11:00
• Northwest winds between 7-13 mph with gusts up to 28 mph
• Very good visibility all morning, becoming good by afternoon
• Low chance of precipitation (<5%) throughout most of the day
• Sun sets early at 15:46

Make sure you:

• Wrap up warm – it'll feel below freezing in the morning
• Take advantage of the sunny morning for any outdoor activities
• Consider gloves and a scarf for morning commutes
• Keep warm layers handy for when cloud cover increases
• Watch out for stronger wind gusts if cycling

Looking ahead, temperatures will gradually drop over the week, reaching just 7°C by the weekend. If you're planning any outdoor activities, the morning sunshine today offers the best conditions.
