Shell Top (Devon) weather

Headline:

A chilly weekend with plenty of sunshine.

Today:

Any early showers tending to die out in the far west. Otherwise a bright and chilly start, with patchy frost and fog in rural spots, and a largely dry and sunny day ahead. Breezy along coastlines, and feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Dry and mostly clear during the evening and overnight, with rural frost and fog forming by dawn as the chilly feel continues. Breezy in some eastern areas. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Sunday:

Another dry and fairly sunny day for many, although increasing cloud in the east may bring some patchy rain here heading into the evening. Temperatures still below average. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Organised showers move westwards across the region through Monday, clearing later. A dry interlude follows, before more rain develops on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures nearer average, though possibly windy later.

It is looking increasingly likely that a changeable if not unsettled spell of weather will affect the UK through this period, with spells of wet and windy weather arriving from the Atlantic followed by drier though still showery interludes. While there is still a chance that high pressure will build near the UK again during late October, it is more likely that the changeable or unsettled regime will continue once established. It is possible that stormy weather may also develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be near or a little above normal overall, with mild spells likely at times, especially towards the south. In between frontal systems, colder nights are possible, with a touch of frost.

This period is highly uncertain, more so than normal, but overall it seems more likely than not that weather patterns will be dominated by westerly or southwesterly winds from the Atlantic during this period. This will result in occasional spells of wet and windy weather followed by drier but still showery interludes. High pressure may attempt to build across the country at times but any settled spells are most likely to be short-lived. Temperatures are likely to be near or above average overall.
