Met Office Forecast for South-West England

Headline: Clear or sunny spells and blustery showers.

This Evening and Tonight: Daytime showers mostly easing this evening with some late sunny spells. Turning cloudier from the southwest overnight with heavy, showery outbreaks of rain by dawn. Remaining rather breezy along the south coast. Minimum Temperature 10C.

Thursday: Heavy showery rain clears eastwards through the morning, followed by a scattering of showers and sunny intervals. Breezy at times, though winds slowly easing later. Maximum Temperature 20C.

UK Outlook for Monday 8 Sep 2025 to Wednesday 17 Sep 2025: Much of this period will be unsettled, with low pressure systems likely to dominate the overall pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect much of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west and north. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds, especially if any deep areas of low pressure develop and affect the UK. Later in the period, there may be some longer spells of drier weather that develop, especially towards the south, with more in the way of sunshine due to higher pressure. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.

UK Outlook for Thursday 18 Sep 2025 to Thursday 2 Oct 2025: This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north or northwest of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled interludes are also likely, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant, especially towards the south. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall.
