Does anyone know when the last frost date is for Norfolk please? I've tried googling it but had no luck x

    Considering the weather pattern recently, I doubt whether anyone could tell you the last frost date for Norfolk or anywhere else for that matter.
    If you are unsure, the best bet is to ensure your plants are protected just in case.

    I agree with @philippasmith2 on paper my last frost date was two weeks ago...but still not warm enough to plant annuals and vegetables. Check the local two week forecast and decide when the nights are over 10°C to be safe.

    I think that the average last frost days were busted this year in most areas.

    yeah, still getting frost here at least 2 weeks past when we usually do - more like 3 weeks now

    It won’t give the last frost date, but you can keep an eye out for ground and air frost risk on Metcheck a week or two ahead — the forecasts are constantly updated. Enter your location and go to Weather > Forecasts > Frostrisk



    As you mentioned Norfolk, I randomly chose King’s Lynn as an example below:

    According to the chart my last frost date is 1st April,I wouldn't trust it

    The last frost date is the last date you have frost. Anything else is hope and speculation.

    I think London's last frost date was today. We're moving towards 10oC night temps. Although, yes, the Met has been badly off in their forecasts in the last three weeks.

    There is no last frost date. We don’t have seasons anymore!
