For Ibstock, the live forecast above shows the immediate outlook for this Leicestershire village, located just south of the National Forest and a few miles west of Coalville. Conditions here are typical for inland Leicestershire, often a degree or two cooler than the city centre of Leicester.
What is the weather like in Ibstock today?
Ibstock sits on higher ground than the nearby Soar Valley, which can mean slightly more cloud and a greater chance of a sharp shower, especially in the morning. The live forecast above gives the most accurate hour-by-hour picture, but expect a day that feels fresh, with winds coming from a westerly direction. As with much of the county, the afternoon may bring brighter spells, but keep a light jacket handy if you are heading out to the Bardon Hill quarry or the local countryside.
How does Ibstock compare to the rest of Leicestershire?
Being inland and away from the moderating influence of the coast, Ibstock can experience colder nights than nearby Leicester city centre. Frost is more common here in winter, and summer temperatures are often a notch lower than in the city.

You can also follow the latest from bbc news for regional updates, and the bbc weather leicester forecast for the county capital.
Is Ibstock prone to fog?
Yes, particularly in autumn and winter. The village’s elevated position and proximity to open countryside mean that radiation fog can form quickly on clear nights, often lingering into mid-morning.
Does it snow more in Ibstock than in Leicester?
Generally, yes. The higher ground around Ibstock and Bardon Hill means it often sees a dusting of snow when Leicester city centre gets only rain. Snow can settle for a day or two longer here.
What is the best time to visit Ibstock for dry weather?
Late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September) tend to be the driest and most settled periods. July and August can be warm but are also the months with the highest chance of thundery showers.
