South West England weather forecast

Headline:

A grey start today, but turning brighter for some.

Today:

Some low cloud around this morning, possibly some mist and fog patches too, eventually clearing to a bright day in the east. Thicker cloud will continue to push in from the west, with some spots of drizzle around hills. Mild. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Similar overnight. Often cloudy, breezy with spells of rain and drizzle, often the most persistent across any high ground. Another mild night to come. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Thursday:

A mostly dry start to the day, perhaps some lingering drizzle around hills, gradually turning wet and windy through the day, with some heavy rain possible. Temperatures remaining above average. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Unsettled with further rain at times on Friday. Drier and perhaps brighter on Saturday before further rain arrives later and into Sunday. Often windy with temperatures returning to average.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Wed 25 Feb 2026

UK long range weather forecast

Changeable conditions are expected, with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK, interspersed with drier and brighter interludes. Rainfall will typically be heaviest in the northwest, with much less reaching sheltered eastern areas. Some parts of the southeast may be largely fine. Across high ground in the north, some snow is possible at times. Winds will probably be strong at times, with a risk of gales. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above average.

Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Tue 24 Feb 2026

Changeable conditions will probably continue to dominate during this period, with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK. These will bring spells of rain and perhaps strong winds, with the wettest conditions in the northwest, whilst the southeast will likely be driest. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above normal overall. It is possible that longer spells of dry weather occur later in the month as more blocked pattern could develop, which could lead to some colder conditions too.
