Residents of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will face a wet and breezy weekend before a short window of sunshine and mild weather arrives midweek. The local weather is expected to shift from heavy rain to sunny spells by the middle of the week.
On February 22, 2026, the Hendy Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is expected to take place in difficult conditions. The Met Office predicts a 70 to 80 per cent chance of rain and wind gusts up to 31mph during the event.
The Environment Agency has also issued flood warnings across England due to saturated ground. Winds are expected to calm to 17mph by the middle of the week as the rain clears and the sun comes out.
By February 25, 2026, daytime temperatures are forecast to reach 15°C, which is significantly higher than the typical February high of 9°C. This period of sunshine will provide a chance for residents to dry out gardens or finish outdoor repairs after recent storms.
Gardening experts from ProGreen advise using this time for tasks like pruning fruit trees. However, they suggest people avoid walking on waterlogged soil to stop the ground from becoming too packed down.
