South West England weather forecast

Headline:

Clear and chilly overnight with a touch of frost.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying dry with clear skies overnight. Turning locally chilly, with a touch of frost in prone rural spots. Still a brisk easterly wind, especially on coasts and moors, but winds will start to ease. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Sunday:

After a chilly start in places, it will be another fine and dry day, with plenty of sunshine. Still rather breezy, but less so than recent days. Temperatures near average. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Staying fine, dry and settled into next week, with plenty of sunshine by day. Some low cloud is possible at times. Warm by day for many, but chilly by night.

Updated: 17:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 5 Apr 2025

UK long range weather forecast

Widely dry and sunny at first with high pressure across the UK, although cloudier in some parts of the far north and far east, perhaps with some light drizzle at times. Winds are likely to be light with temperatures above normal away from windward coasts. A gradual change to a more unsettled weather regime is likely thereafter, with Atlantic frontal systems or showers from the south making inroads across the UK. This is expected to herald a wetter period with showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery in places. This could be accompanied by strong winds, particularly in the south and west. Temperatures are likely to gradually return closer to normal.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 5 Apr 2025

Probably unsettled at this start of this period with showers or longer spells of rain across many areas and temperatures around average. A return to more settled conditions is likely during the last part of April with high pressure becoming more dominant. This settled theme continues into early May, although some spells of wetter, unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the south. Temperatures are expected to be above average.
