Coleton Fishacre Garden (Devon) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells and scattered showers today and into the weekend.

Today:

Cloudy to start with the best of the morning sunshine in the far southwest. Showers soon spreading from the east through the afternoon, at times heavy and thundery. Feeling breezy in the showers, but warm in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Turning drier this evening, with clear skies developing widely across the region, though some patchy hill fog across the Moors. By dawn, showers quickly developing along the southern coast. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

Another day of sunshine and showers, these occasionally heavy, and at times thundery, spreading northwards through the day. Feeling warm in any sunshine with generally light winds outside the showers. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

A band of persistent rain pushes north-eastwards through Sunday and Monday, heavy and perhaps thundery at times. Drier and brighter by Tuesday, though feeling notably cooler in a northerly wind.

Some rain across southeastern parts, lighter and not as extensive as previous days and tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing for most places, although with a band of cloud and some rain moving across the far north, particularly the northwest and a few showers moving into western parts further south. Temperatures likely a bit cooler than previous days. A transition to a generally more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain moving into many areas, but more especially in the south. Towards the end of the week, much cooler, showery conditions are expected for many parts with the north and west likely being a focus for these showers.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
