What can Rainworth expect over the next few days?
The live forecast above shows a fairly unsettled pattern for Rainworth, typical of this corner of Nottinghamshire. Rainworth lies just south of the A617, inland from the Vale of Belvoir, so it misses the moderating effect of the coast. Showers are likely on Wednesday and Thursday, especially during the afternoon, but drier spells should develop by the weekend. For the most reliable hour‑by‑hour detail, check the Sheffield Weather page – conditions often follow a similar pattern across the eastern side of the county.
How does Rainworth’s weather compare with neighbouring towns?
Rainworth is only a few miles from Mansfield town centre, so there is little difference in the general outlook. However, Rainworth’s slightly higher elevation (around 120 metres above sea level) can mean a degree or two cooler at night, with a better chance of early mist in the Sherwood Forest area. For a broader picture, the UK weather hub offers regional summaries, while the live forecast above gives you the updated detail.
Will it rain in Rainworth today?
The live forecast above indicates a risk of light showers, mainly after lunch. Keep an eye on the BBC Weather Rainworth page for the most frequent updates, as the band of cloud could thicken quickly.

Is Rainworth’s weather very different from Nottingham city?
