Cornwall weather: Thursday 24 September, warm sunshine then mist

Wrap up for a cold start, then enjoy it while it lasts. Cornwall gets a proper dose of warm autumn sunshine today as part of a settled spell across the South West, though the weather has a murkier trick up its sleeve once the light goes.

Today, Thursday 24 September

It is a chilly start, with local mist or fog patches around first thing, especially in rural spots. Once that clears it turns into a fine day, with plenty of sunshine developing through the morning. The brightness goes a little hazy at times, but the afternoon becomes genuinely warm, reaching a high of 21°C. A good one to get outside for.

Tonight

The dry theme holds through the evening and overnight, with clear spells for a time after dark. Later on, areas of low cloud are likely to form, bringing mist and fog patches back with them. Temperatures dip to a fresh low of 9°C, so it will feel cool by morning.

Friday 25 September

Friday looks rather cloudier overall, though some bright spells are still possible, especially further east. Any early mist and fog gradually lifts through the morning. The far west could catch some occasional light rain, so western coasts are the most likely to see a damp patch. The high stays warm at 21°C.

The weekend and into next week

Saturday 26 September looks fine again. Any early fog lifts to leave some sunshine, making it another day worth planning around.

Sunday 27 September carries a chance of some showery rain, so it is the one to keep an eye on if you are heading out.

Then Monday 28 September turns mostly dry once more, though it comes with a noticeably breezier feel. The settled sunshine of the next few days is on borrowed time, with the wind starting to make itself known as the new week begins.
