Forecast - 24 hours (weather and hazard summary)

Scattered showers in Norfolk and north Suffolk today, some of which could contain hail, sleet or wet snow. Snow will generally struggle to settle, but a brief, thin, slushy covering is possible from heavier showers. Breezy in northern and eastern coastal areas, with gusts close to 40mph at times. Lighter winds are expected inland where it will be mostly dry and bright, albeit cold. During the afternoon an area of sleet and snow will approach far western fringes of the region from the north, but is not expected to affect the region at this stage. Showers fading overnight, with a cold night away from the north-east and a fairly widespread frost. 24 hour rainfall totals of 10-15mm locally in Norfolk, most likely in the north.

Forecast - 2 to 5 Days (weather and hazard summary)

Mostly dry on Monday, with just just the odd shower clipping north-east Norfolk, where winds will be lighter than the preceding days. Sunny spells expected elsewhere, but it will be another chilly day. Cold in the evening and early in the night with a widespread frost, but cloudier and less cold conditions pushing in from the west overnight with patchy rain. Milder on Tuesday, but mostly cloudy with just the odd spot of rain. A band of rain is expected to push in from the north-west overnight. Mostly dry on Wednesday with sunny spells, but turning cooler later as winds turn north-westerly or northerly, with scattered showers pushing in overnight. Confidence lowers into Thursday, but at this stage a chilly day is expected with a few showers in the east, with a chance of some rain pushing in from the west overnight, perhaps preceded by sleet or wet snow very briefly.

A chilly day is expected on Thursday with a few showers in the east, some of which could contain hail, sleet or wet snow. Drier and brighter farther west.

More beet to lift. It’s mauly on top. The sort of conditions that would have DEFRA tutting.
But will it get wetter or dryer?
Will it get warmer and rot in the shed but keep in the ground?
Will it get colder and get frosted in the ground but keep better in the shed?
Will the factory ever get up to speed?
Will I ever get a clear day off as the beet lorry will definitely not be coming rather than might be coming?
Nobody knows.
