    East of England weather forecast

    Headline:

    Warm sunny spells developing today, also a few heavy showers.

    Today:

    After a mostly cloudy and mainly dry start, isolated heavy, perhaps thundery showers develop across southern and western counties this afternoon. Staying dry across Norfolk with the best of the sunshine expected here, although feeling cooler given the onshore breeze. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

    Tonight:

    Any showers quickly fading to leave a fine evening with some patchy coastal cloud. Turning more widely cloudy by the end of the night with some localised outbreaks of rain. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

    Thursday:

    Morning cloud and patchy rain clearing to leave a widely dry and sunny afternoon, barring the odd coastal shower across Norfolk. Winds often light, but generally stronger towards the coast. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

    Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

    Fine on Friday with plenty of sunshine then occasional rain or showers this weekend, though often dry and bright by day. Feeling rather warm despite the more changeable conditions.
