Residents in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, can expect a very mild and sunny day on February 25, 2026, before heavy rain and strong winds arrive later in the week. The Met Office expects temperatures to reach 17°C on Wednesday after morning fog clears away.

This pleasant weather is not expected to last, as wind gusts are forecast to hit 32 mph on February 26, 2026. Cloud will increase on Thursday afternoon with rain turning heavier overnight and a 70 per cent chance of wet weather continuing into Friday morning.

The Environment Agency reports that flood warnings are currently in place across England following 21 flood alerts in the local area during January. Because the ground in the Lee Valley is already saturated, even moderate rain could lead to flooding on low-lying roads.

Routes such as Windmill Lane and the A10 are at risk of being affected by the upcoming weather conditions. Drivers are advised to allow more time for their journeys and to check the status of the Small River Lee before travelling.

Residents should also secure any loose items in their gardens before the stronger winds arrive on Thursday evening. These conditions are expected to cause some local travel disruption through to the end of the week.
