Residents in Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk, are set for a warmer weekend as temperatures are expected to reach 14°C on February 22, 2026. This shift marks a significant change from the freezing conditions and ice warnings seen earlier in the week.
According to the Met Office, the area will see maximum temperatures of 13°C on Saturday and 14°C on Sunday. These highs are well above the usual February average of approximately 8°C for the region.
The milder weather provides a window for local people to work in their gardens or enjoy outdoor activities at Thorpe River Green. While the air will be warmer, the sky is expected to stay mostly cloudy, with a 40 to 50 per cent chance of rain early on Saturday and a 30 per cent chance on Sunday evening.
The Broads Authority suggests that those planning to be on the water should remain cautious. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 miles per hour, which can make handling small boats on the River Yare more difficult, especially when navigating under the Thorpe Railway Bridge.
This warmer weather follows a cold period where the Met Office had a yellow warning for ice in place on February 17, 2026. Although it will feel more like spring, the breezy conditions may make it feel cooler at the riverside than the forecast suggests.
