Newquay (Cornwall) weather

Headline:

Sunshine and a few showers today. Rain developing overnight.

Today:

It will be a bright day across the region, with some sunny spells but also a scattering of showers. Showers tending to be largely focused towards the coasts. Winds will be much lighter than of late. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Tonight:

Quickly becoming cloudy through the evening, with outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards. The rain potentially turning heavy for a time during the early hours. Blustery winds also developing. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Wednesday:

A damp start to the morning, but then slowly turning drier and brighter from the west as the day progresses. Remaining on the chilly side, with winds falling light. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Often cloudy, with the best of any sunshine in the east. Some rain is possible in the west at times on Thursday and Friday, perhaps easing by Saturday. Turning milder.

Mainly dry with some clear or sunny spells but rather cold towards the southeast at first as high pressure over the continent extends its influence here. Cloudier, windier and milder in the north and west with some outbreaks of rain. Early next week, it looks like the rain in the west will edge further east, bringing a short spell of rain to the east. High pressure may then re-assert itself close to or over the UK through early December. The largely dry, settled theme may be punctuated by brief unsettled spells though with areas of low pressure possibly crossing the UK, bringing some spells of wind and rain. Temperatures generally near average, but some overnight frost is likely, and rather cold by day where any fog persists.

The start of this period looks like being largely settled, with high pressure close to if not over the UK. However, as we move towards mid-December, there are signs that it will become less settled with west or northwesterly types preferred, These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills in the north. These conditions may prevail into late December, although drier, more settled spells may also affect the UK at times, these probably more likely towards the south. Temperatures generally close to average through the period.
