Residents in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, can expect travel disruptions on Monday, February 23, 2026, as rain and wind move into the area during the afternoon. The weather change is likely to impact those travelling during the middle of the day and through the evening rush hour.
The Met Office predicts a 40 per cent chance of rain starting at midday, which is expected to rise to 80 per cent by 3:00 PM. High wind gusts of up to 28mph will also affect the town, making the 12°C air temperature feel more like 9°C.
This peak in bad weather will happen during the school pickup times for The Carlton Academy and Carlton le Willows Academy. Parents and delivery drivers are encouraged to plan for slower traffic and wetter roads during the busy afternoon period.
Travel may be further delayed by existing roadworks on Carlton Road and the A52 corridor project being managed by National Highways. Drivers are advised to leave earlier than usual and check for live updates as conditions change throughout the day.
