Cornwall weather: Friday 14 August, 24°C and sunny spells

If you have been waiting for a proper summer’s day to plan around, this is the one. Friday brings the warmest, brightest weather of the run across Cornwall, and the week’s weather stays largely settled into the weekend before things start to turn. Here is how the next few days look from the Met Office forecast for Truro.

Today

Sunny intervals through the day and a high of 24°C, with an overnight low of 17°C. It feels close to 23°C in the warmth, and the chance of rain sits at just 10% around the middle of the afternoon. Winds stay light, with gusts topping out near 19mph, so it is a comfortable day to be outside.

Tonight

The warmth hangs on after dark. Skies turn partly cloudy and temperatures hold up at around 17°C, a mild night by Cornish standards.

Saturday

The weekend opens sunny. Saturday climbs to 21°C with a low of 13°C, and rain barely registers at under 5%. The one thing to note is the breeze, with gusts reaching 29mph, the strongest of the whole outlook, so hats and beach windbreaks may need pinning down.

Sunday

More of the same, and a touch warmer. Sunday stays sunny with a high of 23°C and a cooler low of 12°C. Rain chances again sit under 5%, and the wind eases back a little to gusts of around 24mph.

Into next week

Monday holds the settled feel with sunny intervals, 23°C and gusts near 20mph, though a 10% shower chance creeps in during the early afternoon. Tuesday matches it at 23°C but carries a higher 30% chance of rain first thing in the morning. By Wednesday the top temperature slips to 21°C with sunny intervals and a 20% chance of an early shower, and Thursday cools again to 20°C.

The bright spell is the story for now, but the numbers show the rain chances edging up as the week wears on, so make the most of the sunshine while it lasts.
