The weather

Today in Ipswich will be mostly bright with sunny spells and cloud. Temperatures will rise from 4°C to a peak of 8°C by early afternoon, though it will feel notably colder at 2-6°C.

What you need to know:

• Wrap up warm – it's going to feel quite chilly all day
• Dry for most of the day, but rain is arriving late tonight (80% chance by 23:00)
• Wind speeds increase significantly later – gusts up to 32mph by late evening
• Good visibility for most of the day

If you're heading out this evening, take a waterproof jacket. Rain is likely, and with those strengthening southerly winds, it'll feel cold.
