Met Office Forecast for South-West England

Headline: Sunnier and warmer today and most places remaining dry.

Today: Low cloud and mist first thing, this perhaps lingering across the Isles of Scilly. Otherwise a much warmer day than on Saturday with plenty of strong sunshine. Isolated showers are possible this afternoon with perhaps the odd thunderstorm in Cornwall. Maximum Temperature 22C.

Tonight: Mainly sunny and warm this evening, then dry overnight with clear skies. A few pockets of mist or fog may form later with some low cloud too. Turning locally chilly. Minimum Temperature 4C.

Monday: Some low cloud is possible at first, especially in the east. This gradually lifting and clearing to leave plenty of strong sunshine. Very isolated afternoon showers are possible. Feeling warm. Maximum Temperature 21C.

UK Outlook for Thursday 23 May 2024 to Saturday 1 Jun 2024: Most likely an unsettled start to the period with western showers and eastern rain, potentially heavy in the northeast, before a transient settled spell late in the week. Early in the bank holiday weekend a band of rain, heavy at times moves in from the west, becoming weaker as it moves east becoming more showery in nature with scattered showers also following. Into the new week increasingly settled conditions more likely for most, though rain may threaten north-western areas early on whilst some southern or eastern areas occasionally less settled with showers more likely later in the period though there will be some sunshine between times, the best of this in south-western parts. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average, but some large spatial differences are likely.

UK Outlook for Sunday 2 Jun 2024 to Sunday 16 Jun 2024: Relatively muted signals for conditions to be markedly different from climatology through the first half of June. That said, both temperatures and rainfall are more-likely to be a little above average overall, with further rain or showers (possibly heavy/thundery at times) but also some spells of warm sunshine.
