Cornwall weather: Sunday 25 October, Storm Boelo keeps it windy

If the wind woke you overnight, that is Storm Boelo making its presence felt. The named storm is tracking through this weekend, and it sets the tone for a blustery Sunday across Cornwall before something wetter lines up for the start of the week. Here is how the week’s weather looks, taken from the Met Office regional forecast for South West England.

Today, Sunday 25 October

Strong winds dominate, with gales likely for exposed coasts, though these will ease later into a breezier evening. There are sunny spells to enjoy through the day, but it will feel cold in the wind, so wrap up if you are heading out. Scattered showers run through the morning before it turns dry in the afternoon. The maximum temperature is around 14°C.

Tonight

The evening is dry with clear spells and a gentler breeze, a brief lull in the week. It does not hold. Cloud thickens ahead of a band of rain, turning increasingly wet and windy across the southwest by dawn. The minimum temperature is about 9°C.

Monday 26 October

The morning feels unpleasant, with strengthening winds under a band of persistent rain. Things improve a little later on, with patchy rain and some brighter spells in the afternoon, but the wind is the story: very strong winds and coastal gales stick around. The maximum temperature holds at 14°C.

Tuesday to Thursday

Tuesday keeps the rough theme going, with very strong winds, coastal gales and scattered showers. The showers and the strong winds then ease into Wednesday, leaving a bright, breezy day. Thursday is the pick of the outlook: fine, with light winds at last.

After days of being buffeted by Storm Boelo and the unsettled spell behind it, that quieter Thursday will feel like a different week entirely.
