South West England weather forecast

Headline:

Largely dry at first, wetter and windier later this weekend.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying cloudy for many this evening and overnight, with a few light showers possible. The cloud cover will help to prevent temperatures from falling too low. Skies turning increasingly clear across parts of Cornwall and Devon, and becoming breezier here. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Saturday:

Mainly dry with bright spells developing and perhaps some more prolonged periods of hazy sunshine for a time. Thicker cloud later and a few showery outbreaks in the west. Breezy. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Wet and windy on Sunday with periods of heavy rain, though brighter skies arriving later. Windy on Monday with heavy showers and sunny spells. Less windy and showery on Tuesday.

Updated: 17:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 17 Oct 2025

UK long range weather forecast

An unsettled weather pattern is likely to dominate across the UK at the start of this period. Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, and strong winds are expected to spread from the southwest as a deep area of low pressure crosses the UK later next week. This system will likely move away to leave the following weekend showery and cooler. Into the following week, conditions are expected to be changeable with showers or longer spells of rain across many parts of the UK. The wettest weather will probably be in parts of the north or northeast, with the southwest driest overall. Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly below normal for the time of year.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 17 Oct 2025

Changeable and unsettled with weather systems spreading from the west. These will bring spells of rain, heavy at times, and some strong winds, interspersed with drier and brighter periods between systems. The heaviest rain will probably be across northern areas at first, migrating to western areas later. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal or slightly below.
