For Kegworth, the live forecast above shows the immediate conditions for the village. This Leicestershire community, situated between Nottingham and Derby and close to the M1 and East Midlands Airport, typically sees a mix of low cloud and patchy rain in the coming hours, with temperatures holding near average for the region.
What is the forecast for Kegworth over the next few days?
The outlook for Kegworth is unsettled, with a zone of low pressure drifting across the Midlands. Showers are likely to be most frequent on Wednesday afternoon, clearing to brighter spells by Thursday. Overnight lows will drop to around 7°C, with a chance of ground frost in the usual rural hollows near the River Soar. Friday should bring a drier interlude before more rain arrives from the west over the weekend.
Will the weather affect travel around Kegworth?
Given Kegworth’s position near the M1 (junction 24) and East Midlands Airport, the main hazard this week is reduced visibility in heavy showers, particularly during the Tuesday evening commute. Drivers on the A6 between Kegworth and the village of Sutton Bonington should allow extra time. For the wider regional picture, see our UK weather hub and the dedicated Birmingham Weather page, as this system is pushing down from the north-west.
Is it going to be a washout for the rest of the week?
Not a total washout. Expect a mix of sunshine and showers through to Friday, with the heaviest rain likely on Wednesday. A brief drier window on Friday morning will be welcome for gardeners, but don’t put the umbrella away.
How windy will it be around East Midlands Airport?
Winds will be moderate, gusting to 20–25 mph on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. This is southwest to westerly, so crosswind landings are possible for planes using runway 27, but nothing severe enough to cause significant disruption.
Where can I check local flood alerts for the Soar valley?
You can check the UK Government flood alerts service. The Environment Agency updates this in real time, and it covers the stretch of the River Soar from Kegworth downstream to Sutton Bonington.
