What is the weather like in Bawtry today?
The live forecast above gives you the real-time picture – Bawtry typically sees a moderate maritime climate, so today’s outlook follows that pattern. The main story is a weak frontal system sliding east, bringing patchy light rain or drizzle at times, especially through the afternoon. Winds are light to moderate from the south-west, keeping temperatures near average for the season.
- Rain risk highest between midday and late afternoon, though totals will be small.
- Cloud breaks possible later in the evening, with some clear intervals overnight.
- Visibility is generally good, but mist may form in river valleys after dark.
How does Bawtry’s location affect its weather?
Bawtry sits on the River Idle, close to the border with Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Its low-lying position means fog and frost can develop quickly on calm, clear nights, while the open landscape to the east allows brisk winds to sweep in from the North Sea.
- The town is about 10 miles south-east of Doncaster – so conditions often mirror the wider weather Doncaster reports, but with slightly less urban heat.
- Local topography funnels rain-bearing clouds from the Humber estuary, making Bawtry a little wetter than areas further west.
