South Molton (Devon) weather

Headline:

Cooler with heavy showers throughout the rest of the week.

Today:

Often cloudy with periods of rain or drizzle spreading from west to east. Turning brighter with sunnier skies arriving in western counties through the afternoon. Generally breezier, and rather windy in some coastal areas. Feeling cooler than yesterday. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Clear spells and scattered showers overnight, these heaviest and most frequent in Cornwall and Devon. Rather breezy, especially at the coasts, and cooler than last night. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Thursday:

Another day of bright or sunny spells and frequent heavy showers, these carrying a risk of hail and thunder at times. Rather breezy, particularly at the coasts and over hills. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Remaining changeable with sunny spells and blustery showers, these frequent and occasionally heavy with a risk of hail and thunder. More persistent rain likely arriving on Sunday. Feeling cool.

Generally unsettled with low pressure dominating much of the period. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect most of the UK at times, hail and thunder possible. Potential for a deeper area of low pressure to run close to or into the UK later in the weekend bringing more widespread rain and strong winds or gales. Further rain, showers and strong winds likely into next week. However later in the period, there may be some spells of drier weather that develop, especially towards the south, with more in the way of sunshine. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in drier, sunnier spells.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
