Residents in Norwich can expect a temporary drop in temperatures this week, with the Met Office advising people to prepare for cooler conditions and a chance of rain. Following a breezy and overcast Bank Holiday Monday, the region will face a noticeable cooldown by the middle of the week.

Wednesday, 6 May, is set to be the coldest day of the week. Temperatures are expected to peak at only 12°C, though strong wind gusts reaching 28mph will make it feel closer to 8°C. There is also a 30% chance of rain early on Wednesday morning, which may impact those heading out for their commute.

The coldest point of the week will occur on Thursday morning, 7 May, when temperatures are expected to drop to a minimum of 5°C. Due to the wind chill, it will feel as cold as 3°C, and patchy grass frost is possible in rural areas surrounding Norwich. Residents are encouraged to dress in layers to stay comfortable during these changeable conditions.

The chill is expected to be short-lived, with milder weather returning by Friday, 8 May. Temperatures will climb back up to 17°C, with the upcoming weekend forecast to remain relatively mild and pleasant, featuring sunny intervals and highs of 16-17°C.
