This afternoon, Norfolk will experience cloudy skies but remain mostly dry, with only the occasional spot of rain under the thicker clouds. However, a band of patchy rain is set to move in from the northwest this evening, intensifying the weather conditions.
Wind gusts are expected to reach 47 mph in Hunstanton between 3 PM today and 2 AM on Wednesday, while gusts of 45 mph will affect Norwich and Great Yarmouth starting this evening. This significant wind event poses risks for travel and outdoor activities.
Rainfall is predicted to sweep across Norfolk starting at 6 PM, with conditions expected to worsen overnight. Residents should prepare for heavier rain as the evening progresses.
Temperatures across the region are forecasted to drop close to freezing on several nights this week, marking a stark shift in conditions. This drop in temperature is several degrees below average for late March, indicating a colder and more unsettled week ahead.
The forecast suggests a mix of rain, wind, and some lingering wintry hazards, particularly in areas such as Wymondham, Norwich, Attleborough, and Great Yarmouth, where wintry showers are possible, especially on Wednesday evening.
