South West England weather forecast

Headline:

Drier, brighter and feeling a little less chilly.

This Evening and Tonight:

The odd light coastal shower is possible overnight. Otherwise, dry with clear spells and light winds. This will allow temperatures to fall away and a patchy frost to form. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Saturday:

A dry, bright and chilly start. Remaining mostly dry through the morning with cloud increasing from the west. Some light rain is possible by the afternoon. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Some showers possible on Sunday. Cloudy on Monday with some rain. This turning heavy overnight. Rather wet and windy on Tuesday. Temperatures slowly increasing near to average.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 15 May 2026

UK long range weather forecast

Changeable conditions are expected at first, with low pressure often close by to the north of the UK, bringing rain and showers. However, high pressure from the south is expected to quickly start to build near to the UK towards the Bank Holiday weekend, bringing some fine and dry conditions, with temperatures rising accordingly for some. Thereafter, high pressure is expected to broadly remain the dominant influence across much of the UK, with spells of fine weather. Low pressure will be positioned to the north, and will at times allow some rain or showers to cross the country. Overall across the period, temperatures are expected to be above normal with winds often light for many.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 15 May 2026

Whilst further rain and showers are possible at times, there is also likely to be spells of fine and dry weather. Patterns which bring more settled weather are more likely to dominate through the turn of the month across southern areas with more unsettled spells of weather likely to be focused further north. Into June, more mixed conditions are likely with spells of rain and showers, but also some drier weather at times. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above average overall, with some warm weather possible at times.
