The table below compares current conditions for Nottingham city and the wider Nottinghamshire region, highlighting the micro-climate differences between urban and county areas.

The micro-climate gap of 2°C between the city and county reflects how urban heat islands and open countryside create divergent conditions — dress for the cooler city if you’re staying local.

Is there a weather warning for Nottingham?

The short answer: no warnings are currently in force. The Met Office maintains a dedicated warning page for Nottingham, and as of the latest check, no alerts — yellow, amber, or red — apply to the city or surrounding area. The highest alert classification, a red weather warning, indicates dangerous conditions requiring immediate action. Nottingham is not under that threshold right now.

Current warnings from Met Office

Met Office tracks weather hazards across the UK in real time. Their warning system covers rain, snow, wind, fog, ice, and extreme heat. Each warning carries a colour-coded severity level. For Nottingham specifically, the dedicated page at weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings/gcrjm8jf7 confirms zero active advisories.

The absence of any Met Office alert for Nottingham signals that tomorrow poses no unusual weather hazard requiring special preparation beyond standard planning.

How cold is Nottingham now?

Nottingham city centre is currently at 9°C under partly cloudy skies, with a feels-like temperature of 8°C due to the ESE breeze. Just a short drive outside the city, Nottinghamshire shows a different picture: 11°C, cloudy, with gusts reaching 15 mph from the ENE. That 2°C gap reflects a genuine micro-climate difference between the urban core and the wider county.

Last 24 hours weather — Met Office

The Met Office records show tonight’s trend fitting a familiar East Midlands pattern. Showers are gradually easing this evening with clear spells developing initially, before thicker cloud pushes westwards across eastern counties overnight — bringing a chance of drizzly outbreaks in some areas. Pollen levels sit at moderate in the city but climb to high across Nottinghamshire, a split that reflects the difference between built-up streets and open countryside.

The 2°C differential between city and county conditions means that if you’re heading out of Nottingham for the evening, expect it to feel slightly warmer and breezier beyond the urban boundary.

What’s the coldest it’s ever been in Nottingham?

Historical records show Nottingham has experienced significant cold snaps over the years. While the city doesn’t rival Scottish or northern English towns for extreme lows, January and February have delivered sub-zero nights that test heating systems and freeze exposed pipes. The climate record — documented across multiple sources including regional meteorological archives — shows the city averaging around 1–2°C for overnight lows in the coldest winter months.

Historical climate data

For context, the current 9°C reading sits well above any historical cold extreme. The coldest recorded temperatures in Nottingham have dipped below −10°C during notable cold events, though such extremes are rare and typically associated with prolonged northerly airflow. What’s notable now is the contrast between the city’s current mild conditions and the colder mornings that winter brings — a reminder that even spring doesn’t guarantee immunity from chill.

The current 9°C reading sits comfortably above Nottingham’s historical winter lows, but the city’s sub-zero potential underscores why even spring nights can catch unprepared residents off guard.

Will Storm Goretti hit Nottingham?

Storm names circulate throughout UK autumn and winter, but the Met Office’s official storm catalogue shows no direct path through Nottingham for any currently active named system. The East Midlands regional forecast indicates scattered showers fading with clear periods — not the sustained heavy rainfall or gale-force winds associated with a named storm impact.

Storm Goretti key stats — Met Office

Named storms follow a defined lifecycle and geographic track. Storm Goretti — if active — would carry a multi-hazard profile covering wind, rain, or both depending on its trajectory. However, with no active Met Office warnings for the Nottingham area and the regional forecast showing a settled trend, there’s no evidence of significant storm impact expected here. The implication: if a named storm is moving through the UK, Nottingham sits outside its primary path.

The regional forecast’s settled trend and the absence of Met Office alerts for Nottingham indicate that Storm Goretti — if active — poses no direct impact to the city or surrounding area.

What’s the weather tomorrow in the Midlands?

Tomorrow (April 22) is shaping up to bring light rain showers to the East Midlands, with temperatures reaching around 13°C during the day. Overnight lows will dip to approximately 8°C. Wind will remain gentle — no disruptive gusts on the horizon — and the precipitation chance stays low at under 5% for the city centre. AccuWeather’s hourly breakdown for early morning (1–6 AM) shows temperatures between 5–6°C with zero rain probability, suggesting a dry start to the day.

Regional forecast overview

The Met Office East Midlands forecast points to cloud amounts increasing from the east as the night progresses, which could produce some drizzly outbreaks in exposed areas. The good news: overnight clearing means tomorrow morning should start brighter before any afternoon cloud builds. Across the wider Midlands — including Derby, Leicester, and Lincoln — similar conditions prevail: dry and cool overnight, turning overcast by midday with isolated light showers possible. For those planning ahead, you can find the Weather in Burnham-on-Sea at $Weather in Burnham-on-Sea.

The timing of the cloud transition from east to west means morning plans have a better chance of staying dry, while afternoon activities should factor in a modest shower risk.

What this means for Nottingham residents

For Nottingham residents, tomorrow brings no drama: light rain showers are possible, highs will reach 13°C, and no storms are heading your way. The Met Office has no active warnings for the city right now. The 2°C gap between the city centre and the county reflects how urban heat and open countryside create different micro-climates — so if you’re heading out of town, expect it to feel slightly warmer but breezier. Morning plans have better odds of staying dry than afternoon ones.

Residents can proceed with outdoor plans without weather disruption, though checking the Met Office forecast before morning activities remains prudent given the overnight cloud transition from the east.
