South West England

Headline:

Often cloudy with outbreaks of rain. Brighter on Tuesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Some clear spells possible this evening with skies turning cloudier from the west with drizzly interludes returning across the hills. A band of heavier rain arriving from the west towards dawn. Breezy, with gusty winds for exposed areas. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Tuesday:

A wet and windy start as heavy rain sweeps eastwards. Despite the sunny spells, the afternoon will feel cooler than on Monday with a fresh, gusty breeze following the rain. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

On Wednesday, dry sunny spells and winds strengthening to a fresh breeze. Gusty winds remain on Thursday, and a band of rain arrives later. A sunnier, more settled Friday.

High pressure is expected to lie close to or across the UK through much of this period. This will mean largely fine and dry weather for many, perhaps with some overnight mist and fog patches. Weak frontal systems could bring some rain at times and if this happens it is most likely in the far south or perhaps far north of the UK. Winds are expected to be mostly light. Temperatures will likely be around normal for the time of year, with frosty mornings in the usual prone areas.

High pressure will probably be dominant at first with many areas fine and dry. A transition to more changeable or unsettled weather patterns is expected by the start of November with showers or longer spells of rain becoming more likely. Temperatures are likely to be near or a little above normal for the period as a whole.
