    South West England weather forecast

    Headline:

    Further spells of wet and windy weather to come.

    Today:

    The morning should start dry, but cloud will soon thicken with wet and potentially very windy weather sweeping across the region. The rain will become heavy, but it should turn more showery later. Winds remaining brisk. A mild day though. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

    Tonight:

    The evening will begin cloudy with blustery showers. Showers should become confined towards western coasts overnight with clear periods developing. Remaining breezy, although this should prevent a frost from forming. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

    Friday:

    Apart from a scattering of showers, mainly in the west, Friday promises to be a much drier and brighter day with sunny spells. Feeling cool due to the breeze though. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

    Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

    After a mostly fine start, wet and windy weather will move eastwards across the region on Saturday. Sunday and Monday look cloudy with further patchy rain. The wind easing though.
