Residents of Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk, can expect unseasonably mild weather this week as temperatures are forecast to reach 16°C on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. According to the Met Office, the daytime high will be nearly double the typical February average of 8°C.
The warm spell offers a chance for outdoor activities like gardening or visiting the river. Local businesses along the River Yare, such as Bishy Barney Boats and Thorpe Island Boats, may see more people looking to get out on the water. Riverside spots like The Rivergarden and The Rushcutters Arms are also expected to be busier than usual for this time of year.
While the higher temperatures might help lower household heating bills, they also bring an early start to the hay fever season. Allergy UK notes that mild weather in February can cause hazel and alder trees to release pollen earlier than usual. This shift could affect residents who suffer from seasonal allergies.
Members of the Yare Boat Club and other outdoor groups are encouraged to check for any updates to their activities during the sunny weather. Although 16°C is very warm for February, it remains just below the regional record of 18.4°C set in 2021.
