The week last year

Thundery showers at the start of the week. Showers persist in the South through the week; drying in the North. Temperatures go from warm to cold.

The week this year

High pressure will build across Western Europe pushing storm systems further to the north allowing a much drier week. Temperatures will also trend warmer than normal for the week and well above last year, which had a very cold end to March.

Mindset

A strong week for weather-driven sales on all spring product categories. Exterior maintenance and spring gardening products will see strong comparisons as consumers enjoy getting outdoors in warmer and drier conditions.
