South West England weather forecast

Headline:

Band of rain and sleet clearing eastwards with icy stretches.

This Evening and Tonight:

A band of rain will move eastwards this evening, perhaps falling as sleet or snow briefly over the Moors. This clearing during the early hours. Icy stretches developing where skies clear. Breezy. Less cold than recent nights. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Another cold day for many, with some glimmers of sunshine. Rain then returning across Cornwall and west Devon by late afternoon. Gusty winds. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Most likely a dry start on Thursday. Then an increasing risk of heavy rain, along with strong winds, which may linger into Friday. Cold with sunny spells retuning on Saturday.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Tue 6 Jan 2026

UK long range weather forecast

A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.

Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Tue 6 Jan 2026

The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
