South West England weather forecast

Headline:

Cold night with fog patches lingering into Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Clear spells and some patchy cloud overnight with showers fading. Frost and freezing fog patches forming under the clearest skies. A slight breeze developing around far western coasts of Cornwall by morning. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Gloomy where fog patches are stubborn to clear, but eventually lifting as winds strengthen. Rain arriving through the evening. Feeling cold in the east but turning milder further west. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Becoming milder for the rest of the week. But this comes in association with widely unsettled conditions - strong winds, plus heavy rain and showers.

Updated:

UK long range weather forecast

This period is likely to often be unsettled with areas of low pressure tracking northeastwards close to or over the UK. This means bands of rain moving in from the west or southwest, interspersed with brighter showery conditions. As such, the wettest weather is likely to be across western high ground, though all parts could see some heavy rain at times. There is a greater than normal likelihood of periods of very windy weather too. Potential for a drier spell of weather to develop for a time around mid-month, particularly in the south, with frost and fog more prevalent. Overall, a relatively mild period for the UK, with above average temperatures more likely than not, especially so in the south and west.

Updated:

Most likely to be unsettled with further bands of rain crossing the UK with brighter conditions and showers in between. The wettest and windiest conditions are most likely in the west and northwest. The chance of a colder spell of weather, with hazard such as snow and ice, does increase later in December and into the New Year period. However, conditions are more likely to remain generally mild and wet.
