Dereham weather in numbers
measured normals and 10 years of recorded weatherDereham swings 20°C across the year, from 21°C highs in July to 1°C lows in February, and October is usually the wettest month in a year that brings about 698 mm of precipitation. Over 10 years of recorded weather it averages 14 days a year at 25°C or above, 2 of them at 30°C or above, 27 frost nights, and rain on 133 days.
Day counts are from the ERA5 reanalysis for Dereham’s grid square, 2016 to 2025, counted the same way for every city so the numbers compare. A reanalysis square is an area, not a weather station, so it is good for counting days and not for a single day’s record.

Where the models disagree
temperature and rain, judged separatelyThe models often agree on temperature and still split on rain, and rain is usually what decides whether a plan survives. A wide rain range means the shower is genuinely uncertain, not that the forecast is wrong.
