Sunshine Today… But a Wetter Easter Is On The Way

A mixed few days of weather are on the horizon across the South West, with bright and dry conditions giving way to wind and rain as Easter approaches.

Bright but Chilly Start Today

Thursday 2nd April begins on a chilly note, but with plenty of sunshine expected through the morning and into the afternoon. Despite the brighter skies, it will feel fresher than recent days, with light winds and a maximum temperature of 13°C.

Rain Moves In Overnight

Conditions are set to change later in the day. Cloud will build quickly during the evening, followed by outbreaks of rain moving in from the west.

The rain is expected to continue overnight and could turn heavy at times, particularly over the Moors. Winds will also pick up, making for a more unsettled night with temperatures dropping to around 4°C.

Blustery and Showery Friday

Friday looks set to stay unsettled, with a blustery feel and spells of rain throughout the day. Some of these showers may be heavy at times.

There is still a chance of brighter or sunny intervals, especially during the afternoon, with temperatures reaching a slightly milder 15°C.

Easter Weekend Outlook

Looking ahead to the Easter weekend, conditions remain changeable.

Saturday is expected to be windy, with showers and possibly longer spells of rain. Easter Sunday will bring a brighter and breezier day, although scattered showers are still likely.

By Easter Monday, the weather is forecast to turn drier and warmer, offering a more settled end to the long weekend.

What To Expect

After a calm and sunny start to Thursday, the South West is set for a noticeable shift towards wetter and windier conditions heading into Easter.
