South West England weather forecast
Headline:
Wet and breezy for most today, largely dry for Cornwall.
Today:
A wet, breezy day for most as rain persists across the region, occasionally heavy. Into the afternoon, this rain is likely to fragment into more showery bursts, and the odd sunny spell could develop. Meanwhile, staying largely fine in Cornwall. Maximum temperature 14 °C.
Tonight:
Showers will likely ease and become more scattered through the evening, clearing towards the west overnight, allowing some clear spells to form in the east. Breezy winds beginning to ease. Minimum temperature 7 °C.
Friday:
A drier day for most, with sunny spells. The odd scattered shower remains likely, but these lighter and less frequent than recently. Cornwall seeing the cloudiest and most showery conditions. Maximum temperature 16 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
A band of rain will cross the region Friday night, then unsettled with sunshine and showers for the rest of this period. These showers heavy and possibly thundery at times.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
It will most likely be remaining unsettled throughout the period, with Sunday seeing sunny spells and thundery showers. Coastal parts of eastern Scotland and northeast England may also remain rather cloudy and misty. Temperatures still a little below average for most. The north will perhaps see the best of any more settled weather, with the south most likely to see the bulk of showers and thunderstorms and any longer spells of more persistent rain. It's likely to be breezy at times, especially around coastal areas in the south and west of the country. Temperatures will be near to or slightly below average, with the best of any warmer spells in the southeast, and with the formation of any overnight frosts becoming less likely.
Updated:
Confidence remains low for this period, although typical spring weather patterns are most probable, with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some thundery, for most parts of the UK, especially at first. Conditions will probably become more settled late May and going into June, with an increasing likelihood of drier conditions for many. Overall, the driest and most settled conditions are most probable in the south, with the north generally more unsettled as longer spells of rain and strong winds arrive from the Atlantic at times. Temperatures likely to be around average.
