Cornwall weather: Monday 9 November, bright start, wet week ahead

Enjoy the brightness while it lasts. The Met Office has the South West, Cornwall included, starting the week dry and bright before the rain moves in and settles for days. Here is how the week’s weather across the region shapes up, with the headline a simple one: things are turning more unsettled.

Today, Monday 9 November

A promising start for most. Any patchy frost and fog further east clears readily through the morning, leaving a dry and bright day. The catch is in the west, where cloud builds through the day and could bring light rain by the evening, so Cornwall sees the change arrive first. Winds stay a moderate easterly. The maximum temperature reaches 14°C.

Tonight

The quiet spell ends overnight. Cloud and rain spread north and east, with some heavier bursts possible through the early hours. Winds freshen to a moderate to fresh southeasterly. The minimum temperature drops to 6°C.

Tuesday 10 November

A cloudy and wet day for most, with heavier bursts possible at any point through the day. Winds turn a brisk easterly, so it will feel raw out in the open. The maximum temperature holds at 14°C.

Wednesday to Friday

The wet theme hangs on. Cloudy and wet conditions continue into Wednesday, particularly across Cornwall, so the far west stays in the firing line. Thursday keeps the cloud and turns rather damp. Then Friday brings the break, with conditions turning drier and brighter at last, though it comes at a price as things also turn cooler to end the week.
