Met Office Forecast for South-West England

Headline: Sunshine and a few showers today.

Today: A dry and bright start for many, though patchy cloud and few showers for western and southern coastal areas. One or two more showers popping up across the region during the day, but overall a good deal of fine weather. Maximum Temperature 11C.

Tonight: Early clear spells, but turning increasingly cloudy, with strengthening winds through the evening as a band of rain pushes eastwards overnight, bringing some heavy downpours. Scattered showers feeding in behind. Minimum Temperature 6C.

Thursday: Rain gradually clearing from eastern areas. Some brighter spells in the west, and a day of sunshine and scattered showers generally unfolding. Overnight, frost and fog patches may form. Maximum Temperature 9C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday: Friday brings a bright start, but quickly turning unsettled as a rain band with strong winds pushes northeastwards. Remaining unsettled thereafter, with a mix of blustery showers and sunny spells.

UK Outlook for Sunday 7 Dec 2025 to Tuesday 16 Dec 2025: Likely a continuation of the unsettled conditions seen recently, with further showers or longer spells of rain and some strong winds affecting most if not all of the country. Sunday will likely start largely fine, bar a few showers, but another band of rain is expected to move east or northeast across the country during the day. This will clear to showers, but further bands or areas of rain are likely to move east or northeast across the country over the following several days, some of these accompanied by very strong winds. Temperatures will generally be near or a little above average, but feeling cool in the wind and rain. We are unlikely to see much in the way of frost or fog in this unsettled spell.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 17 Dec 2025 to Wednesday 31 Dec 2025: This period is likely to be changeable, with further spells of rain or showers and some strong winds at times, especially in the west. Hill snow is also a possibility, mainly in the north. However, there is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the unsettled patterns we are likely to see through the first couple of weeks of December. This will increase the chances of overnight fog and frost. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
