Warkleigh (Devon) weather

Headline:

Heavy thundery downpours overnight and on Sunday, cooler next week.

This Evening and Tonight:

A cloudy, humid and often wet night with periods of heavy rain, this thundery in places. Torrential downpours are likely in places, with localised flooding possible, especially after recent wet weather. Frequent lightning could also occur, especially in eastern counties. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Sunday:

Largely cloudy with rain at times, this locally very heavy and thundery, particularly first thing. Slow-moving downpours by the afternoon. Breezier in Cornwall, but possibly somewhat drier here. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Bright and breezy on Monday with sunny spells. More unsettled on Tuesday and Wednesday with sunshine and showers, these occasionally heavy and prolonged. Windy at times and turning much cooler.

Initially cool with northerly winds providing showers along exposed northern, western and eastern coasts, but also a few inland at times too, although central and southern areas may stay fairly dry and sunny. Showers wintry on the mountain tops in Scotland. Towards the end of the week and into the weekend it will likely turn more widely drier for a time, especially in central and southern areas, with the greater chance of rain and blustery conditions in the north and northwest. A gradual recovery in temperature is also expected as winds become more westerly. By the following week, while confidence is low a trend towards more settled conditions is most likely, accompanied by warmer temperatures. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, especially in the south and/or northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
