Paignton (Torbay) weather

Headline:

Becoming very windy overnight as Storm Éowyn arrives.

This Evening and Tonight:

Largely dry this evening and turning chilly under clearing skies. Soon turning cloudy though, with strengthening winds and heavy rain developing as Storm Éowyn gets nearer. Fairly widespread gales for a time, these locally severe in coastal areas, easing later. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Friday:

Winds quickly easing through the morning, becoming generally light by the afternoon. Early rain clearing eastern counties then largely dry and cloudy with bright spells. Showers reaching western areas later. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Mainly fine on Saturday with some sunshine, though showers spreading eastwards later. Wet and windy again on Sunday with gales for many and localised flooding possible. Blustery showers Monday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. On Tuesday another widely unsettled day is expected with showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes. Still windy but less so than over the previous few days. Through the rest of the period the strongest winds and heaviest rain will tend to move to the northwestern UK while the south may see more in the way of drier weather. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
