Forecast updated 2026 May Saturday 9th Last week’s forecast was 88% Accurate :- (timing/tracking)  

UPCOMING WEATHER INFO-:  / Well what happened last week? Had you been lucky to remain dry or did you get a soaking? A very slack airmass all round. There had been some heavy showers about, but mainly concentrated to the E & West of the moors of out location. Yesterday NW Devon (Barnstable & Ilfracombe) had an hour or so of heavy rain late afternoon! It doesn’t look like we will see much in this forecast? At the moment a lot of rain/showers to the S running through the channel & northern France, and all this just missing our location! Ok lets put this in to a more daily detail below!!! I do not change these daily ahead forecasts. This gives you an idea of the possible out comes for that day. That is the reason I do a daily update on top of this page throughout the week. 

Next Week’s Forecast Starting Sunday May 10th

Sunday / A dry day expected with cloud in abundance, this looks to break to allow for  sunny spells to develop, wind light to moderate locally fresh/strong NE, Temp 17/13/4ºC evening dry with a possible rural frost developing in wind sheltered places!!!

Monday / A dry and sunny  start, but cloud looks to increase that may give some showers late afternoon, wind moderate to fresh N/NW and abating, Temp 17/8ºC evening any showers look to clear before midnight!!!

Tuesday / A dry start with sunny spells as cloud looks to increase and bubble up that may give a heavy shower later, wind light to moderate locally fresh NW/W, Temp 16/7ºC evening generally dry and breezy!!!

Wednesday / A dry and sunny start but cloud looks to increase with some possible showers moving over for a time, wind moderate to fresh locally strong/Gale force W/NW, Temp 13/5ºC evening any showers should clear to leave a dry night!!!

*Thursday/ A dry start with sunny spells but cloud looks to increase and build that may give some heavy showers, wind light to moderate locally fresh NW/N, Temp 15/6/3ºC evening any showers becoming well scattered, and just possible of a rural frost developing in wind sheltered places!!!

*Friday /Generally a dry day expected with sunny spells as cloud will be in abundance at times, wind light to moderate NW becoming variable, Temp 17/6ºC evening dry!!!

Confidence 75%. / High pressure to the W and Low pressure systems moving over and round at the top and moving S/SE producing rain/showers, it’s where the rain bearing fronts move, if  they moved further E/SE we would be in the driest zone, but straight down yeah you got it? Depends how far the High to the W ridges eastwards? Models runs all differ on this! Ok what’s the possible outlook? Changeable and breezy!!! Whatever the weather you have a great week!!!  Remember any Showers/Thunderstorms forecasted, some places will not get them and will remain dry.

Iceland again on the standby for an imminent eruption? as lava has accumulated under ground more so then the previous ones! Mother nature really letting Humans know about her, and what she can do weather wise, and Tectonic wise.  Over populating the Earth and destroying the vast amounts of forests, and polluting the rivers, seas. Us Humans beware, we are being warned yet again!!!  I have put another website link at the bottom for the Northern lights. Fantastic to watch when you have clear skies that is!!! as well as shooting stars.  People laugh at these weather/eruption events, I would say don’t be fooled, Mother Nature will in one way or another affect you!!! and may even harm you if you do not respect her!!!
