South West England weather forecast

Headline:

A cold but mainly dry first day of meteorological winter.

Today:

Frost and ice for many at first today. Generally dry with some cloud this morning, especially in eastern counties, with sunnier skies further west. An increasing number of sunny spells this afternoon. Feeling cold but less windy than yesterday. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Tonight:

Quickly turning widely frosty this evening under clearing skies. Staying dry overnight with freezing fog patches forming, these most widespread in the east. Wintry showers possible in west Cornwall later. Minimum temperature -5 °C.

Saturday:

Freezing fog slow to lift in the east, possibly lingering into the afternoon. Otherwise, some winter sunshine for many but a few wintry showers are likely in the west. Cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Turning increasingly unsettled through the period with spells of rain and perhaps hill snow at first, moving eastwards. Turning a little milder but still feeling chilly at times.

Updated:

UK long range weather forecast

A fair amount of uncertainty at the start of this period as milder and more generally unsettled conditions across the south and west try and extend further north and east through the week. It is likely that northern and perhaps some eastern areas remain cold with further overnight frost and fog patches, then clear or sunny spells and wintry showers in places. Elsewhere, milder, or at least less cold weather than the preceding days, with areas of rain and stronger winds, more especially in the west, this erratically spreading further north and east with time. Moving towards mid December and more generally unsettled and milder conditions look most probable with any colder interludes likely to be short-lived.

Updated:

Conditions are most likely to be changeable through this period. Wetter and windier than average conditions are slightly more likely than normal, especially in the west and northwest. Temperatures are most likely to be near or above average overall, although this doesn't rule out some spells of cold weather and associated wintry hazards, though the chances of any prolonged spells of cold weather are low.
