Wellingborough in Northamptonshire is expected to see a sharp change in weather on Thursday 12 March 2026 as high winds and heavy rain move into the area. The Met Office has predicted that wind gusts could reach up to 48mph, marking a significant shift from the milder conditions seen earlier in the week.

Heavy rain is forecast to arrive during the afternoon, with at least a 95 per cent chance of rain starting later in the day. These conditions are likely to cause some travel disruption for local drivers and commuters.

Residents may also find garden debris such as fallen branches or loose items scattered by the strong gusts. The unsettled weather is expected to continue through the latter part of the week as the region moves into a windier and wetter period.
