Met Office Forecast for South-West England

Headline: Getting hotter with plenty of sunshine.

Tonight: Warm and muggy with late evening sunshine and clear skies to follow. Light winds allow some mist and patchy fog to return to rural spots and along the coasts. Minimum Temperature 15C.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 15 Jul 2025 to Thursday 24 Jul 2025: A band of locally heavy and thundery rain will clear northeast from Scotland during Tuesday. Elsewhere, there will be a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers and it will be cooler and fresher. By the end of Tuesday, more rain is likely to move into the far west of the UK. From the middle of next week, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and generally focussed over western areas. Longer drier spells are more likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers are probable at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

UK Outlook for Friday 25 Jul 2025 to Friday 8 Aug 2025: A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month look most likely, with changeable conditions dominating. This means most areas are likely to see some rain or showers at times, which could be heavy with a chance of thunder. Some drier spells are also likely too. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain uncertain.
