Yes,go to doctors,but in the mean time rest the wrist and apply cold compresses. A bag of frozen peas is excellent for this.
Thanks for the weather update but not sure its relevant.

If it was a simple break then 6 weeks recovery so if its swollen and painful there may be something wrong , the raining / cold might explain the pain as there may be a bit of residual weakness but not the swelling , might need an x ray or scan to ensure it has mended properly. in the mean time as marina says, rest cold compresses . maybe a bit of support from a bandage / tubigrip or wrist brace . Take off at night . Sometimes a couple of turns of strapping tape like kinseio tape ( which is waterproof and can stay on day and night for 5 days) can help
