Morchard Bishop (Devon) weather

Headline:

Cool and rather cloudy, becoming breezy in the southwest.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy for most this evening, with any light rain soon clearing to leave a dry night. A few clear spells in the southwest allow for a rural frost, though most places remaining frost free. Becoming breezy in the far southwest. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Dry for all but the far southwest, where a few showers may skirt the Cornish coastline. Breezy here too, but lighter winds elsewhere. Generally cloudy with a few brighter breaks. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

High pressure continues to bring cool and rather cloudy conditions. An increasing risk of rain, and perhaps hill snow, spreading slowly northeastwards from Friday. Some overnight frosts possible.

South or southeasterly winds are likely at the start of this period, and will maintain below average temperatures and often cloudy conditions. There is a chance of even colder conditions developing temporarily, which would see more wintry showers, especially in northeastern areas. Meanwhile, frontal zones, bringing milder conditions and rain, will attempt to move in from the west or southwest. Early in this period these look likely to have limited influence over the UK (apart from the far SW which may already be milder by this point). If, or when, they push further northeastwards the chance of some snow increases. The transition between colder and milder conditions remains uncertain, but towards the end of this period, the milder, wetter conditions are likely to have spread across much of the country.

There is still a very small risk of colder conditions lingering for a time at the start of this period, but it is much more likely that a milder and unsettled theme will probably have become established, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK. This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, but likely bringing above average rainfall amounts overall, especially in the south and west. Temperatures are most likely to become close to or a little above average by early March.
