Storm Gerrit has hit the UK and its impact will be felt across the country over the next two days. 

There are various yellow weather warnings in place for wind, rain and even snow in some areas on Wednesday and Thursday (December 27 and 28).

While there are currently no warnings in place for Norfolk or the rest of East Anglia, its impact will still be felt.

People living in Norfolk can expect strong, gusty winds, reaching up to 45mph, and heavy rain, with a peak temperature of around 12C.

Looking ahead, gusty winds and rain are forecast on New Year's Eve in Norfolk, with light rain and a moderate breeze expected on New Year's Day. 

Storm Gerrit is the seventh named storm of the current UK storm season, which started in September and runs until August 2024. 

Simon Partridge, Met Office meteorologist, said: “Due to the extent of the warnings that are being issued, it was deemed that a named storm would be a good idea because it will highlight to the public the risk associated, particularly as December 27 is likely to be quite a busy day on the roads with people travelling back home after Christmas."
