South West Faces Thunderstorms, Strong Winds, and Showers Forecast
Residents in the South West are preparing for an unsettled weather week, marked by thunderstorms, strong winds, and heavy rainfall. Meteorologists have issued warnings, predicting hail and coastal gales as conditions shift dramatically.
Forecast Overview
Beginning on Sunday evening, clear conditions will give way to substantial rain. Thunder and hail are possible before dawn as temperatures dip to around 10°C. On Monday, a mix of sunshine and showers will dominate the weather, although heavy downpours may occur at times.
Wind and Temperature Projections
- Sunday: Initial clear spells will turn into heavy showers overnight, with temperatures at a minimum of 10°C.
- Monday: Expect strong coastal winds and brief sunny intervals, with highs reaching up to 16°C.

Despite these stormy conditions, temperatures throughout the week are likely to stay near or slightly above the seasonal average.
Weather Outlook for the Week
Forecasts predict significant weather changes as a low-pressure system approaches from the North Sea on Friday, leading to additional rainfall and gusty winds. These conditions will be followed by a colder northerly airflow as the weekend approaches.
Friday’s rain is expected to affect both coastal and inland areas. While some parts may experience sunny spells, coastal regions will continue to face showers.
Upcoming Weather Shifts
As the new week begins, a transition towards a more westerly weather pattern is predicted. This shift may bring rain and wind to numerous regions throughout the UK, especially in the northern and western areas. Overall temperatures are anticipated to remain around or slightly below the seasonal norm.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about evolving weather patterns and prepare for potentially harsh conditions in the days ahead.
