South West England

Headline:

Mist and fog for some tonight, clouding over through Friday.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry evening with some late spells of sunshine for many. Staying dry overnight with clear spells but many areas seeing low cloud, mist or fog forming later, giving locally poor visibilities. Not as chilly as last night. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Friday:

Early fog patches gradually clearing to leave some brightness in eastern counties. Showery rain soon arriving in west Cornwall, with the odd spot developing elsewhere through the afternoon. Cooler. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry on Saturday with hazy sunshine at times. Turning windier on Sunday with rain edging eastwards, heavy in places. Fine again on Monday with some sunshine. Temperatures remaining above average.

Remaining changeable as Atlantic frontal systems bring spells of rain, showers and occasional strong winds. The wettest and windiest conditions will tend to be most frequent across western areas, with longer drier interludes most favoured in the far east and southeast, where it may be very warm at times. Into October, and high pressure to the northeast of the UK may become more influential on the weather, with some longer drier interludes focussed more across the north and northeast of the UK, whilst occasional rain may tend to be more prevalent towards the south and west. Temperatures are expected to be above average for the period as a whole.

Initially, high pressure centred to the north or northeast, with longer drier periods likely across northern UK, whilst low pressure to the southwest brings occasional rain or showers into more southern and western parts. Towards and beyond mid-October, it may turn more widely unsettled with a greater chance of wet and windy conditions at times. Temperatures will likely be above average for the period as a whole.
