Residents in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, are being told to prepare for a day of heavy rain and high winds on Thursday, 12 March 2026. According to the Met Office, the local area will see a shift from sunny intervals to much wetter and windier conditions as the week progresses.

Weather experts predict that wind gusts could reach up to 49 mph throughout the day. The forecast for the East Midlands shows that heavy and blustery rain will move across the region towards the southeast, with winds potentially reaching gale force on higher ground.

Despite the expected downpours, the official risk of flooding for the town remains very low. Information from the UK government confirms that there are currently no major flood concerns for the immediate area as of 11 March 2026.

People living in the community are advised to secure any loose outdoor items, such as garden furniture, to prevent damage from the strong gusts. The change in weather may also cause some travel delays on local roads and public transport services during the heaviest periods of rain.
