Pack a waterproof jacket and sturdy boots for Sherwood Forest today, because the live forecast above shows a spell of showery rain moving through the area, making woodland paths slick even when brighter spells break through.
What’s the weather like in Sherwood Forest right now?
The live forecast above gives the best indication for the rest of the day. Showers are likely to be hit-and-run, so you might dodge most of the wet stuff if you time a walk between the heavier bursts. Temperatures feel cooler under cloud cover than the raw numbers suggest, especially among the old oaks where the canopy holds the damp. If you’re heading to the visitor centre or the Sherwood Forest Center Parcs resort, keep an eye on the radar — the weather can shift faster than you expect across this part of Nottinghamshire.
When should I visit Sherwood Forest for decent weather?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) offer the best balance of mild temperatures, lower rainfall odds and manageable crowds. Summer school holidays pack the park with families, and the woodland can feel muggy on still July days. For a crisp, less busy walk, October half-term often brings dry spells and good light for photographs — though you’ll want a warm layer. Whatever the season, check the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK before setting out if you want to avoid the wettest windows.
Does BBC Weather Sherwood Forest give the same forecast as the live feed above?
BBC Weather uses Met Office data, so the general outlook aligns closely. The live forecast above may update fractionally faster, but you’ll get consistent trends for rain timing and temperature across both sources.
What’s the weather in Sherwood Forest over the next 10 days?

Is the weather in Sherwood Forest tomorrow likely to be dry?
Tomorrow shows a similar pattern to today: cloud building through the morning with a chance of light showers by lunchtime. The best window for a dry walk is early morning, before the showers arrive. Bring a thin waterproof just in case.
