    South West England weather forecast

    Headline:

    Rain arriving later on Thursday and turning chilly on Friday.

    This Evening and Tonight:

    Remaining rather breezy this evening but staying dry. Cloud building from the southwest overnight, this thick enough to give the odd spot of light rain and drizzle at times overnight. Rather windy in coastal regions and remaining very mild. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

    Thursday:

    Largely cloudy and breezy with some light showers but some brightness is possible. Rain arriving in western areas later. A very mild day and feeling unseasonably warm in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

    Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

    Rain on Thursday night, then breezy and colder on Friday with sunny spells and possible showers. Settled and largely dry thereafter with some sunshine and cold, locally frosty nights.
